In 2015, Lauren Brown left her mostly Black neighborhood in Chicago for the University of Missouri. Moving to a predominantly white college was a huge shock, made even more difficult by the racial harassment she faced that fall.

That same semester, the campus erupted in protests that made international news after several instances of racial harassment set off a movement led by Black students to change the school.

Those protests inspired movements on college campuses across the country, but few of them got as much media coverage as the University of Missouri.
