We along with millions of others across the world demand Justice for this Injustice.

We are asking all current and former Jack Yates Alumni to wear Crimson and Gold. Due to COVID-19 concerns, social distancing will be enforced and those attending are requested to wear masks and gloves.

Please bring your candle for the ceremony.
