The President of the University of Virginia joined a crowd of students last night protesting the arrest and injury of black student Martese Johnson by white officers of the state's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Johnson himself addressed the crowd. "I beg of you guys, regardless of your personal opinions and how you feel about subjects, please respect everyone here, we're all part of one community." Governor Terry McAuliffe has called for an investigation. Hawes Spencer reports for WVTF, public radio in Charlottesville, Virginia.
