UVM students shut down Main Street in Burlington

Students holding Black Lives Matter signs blocked traffic during rush hour on the main artery into Burlington Thursday evening.

They stood on the crosswalk at the Davis Center, which is not far from the I-89 exits and serves as the primary roadway into the city. Traffic quickly backed up.

The students called for an end to racism on the University of Vermont campus and demanded that Tom Sullivan, the president of the college, meet with them.

Leaders of the group, No Names for Justice, said Sullivan had not addressed a list of 10 demands students made last fall to curb racism on campus.
