Senior Donnaya Brown, who spoke at the school MLK assembly yesterday, is currently staging a protest in the atrium. She is holding a sign that reads “I’m waiting for change #weneedtoact,” and sitting in the center of the floor. A stack of fliers lie in front of her, and it says that she welcomes people to sit with her, or just stare and smile.
According to Brown, she has been there since the beginning of C-block and plans to stay there until the end of the day.

That’s not even proper grammar.

Just wanted to understand what these girls are protesting? Is it Brookline should resemble Dorchester and Mattapan?

No, the protest is definitely not to resemble Dorchester and Mattapan. I don’t even understand why you would ask a question like this. I take it very personal and so do others that have saw your comment. If you had read what the reporters wrote on the Sagamore, you would know that the protest was about having equality for every race and culture within our school. It was also about having diversity, not just with students but with teachers as well. Please read what was reported!
