The event began at noon. Students and faculty paused at 12:15 p.m. for a moment of
reflection, silence, prayer and solidarity while standing in protest of the violence
directed at Black community members and to further exemplify that Black lives matter.
Saint Louis University School of Medicine students and faculty also participated Friday,
June 5, in national #WhiteCoats4BlackLives protests at SSM Health Saint Louis University
Hospital and Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
