On September 7 , 2007 a noose was found hanging from a tree outside the Nyumburu Cultural Center at the Universtiy of Maryland. This incident occurred only two days after a rally for the Jena 6 (a case that also involves the hanging of nooses) at nearby Howard University in Washington, DC that attracted between 1500 and 2000 people. University of Maryland officials have been quick to comment on the noose incident at the center and student organizations led by the campus Black Student Union have mobilized thousands of students and community members against racism. What follows is an exchange with one of the many organizers of the anti-racism campaign.
