New York City High School students organized a walkout \u00a0afternoon in protest of the grand jury decision in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.<\/p>\n

What started as a Facebook page with a little over a hundred participants grew to nearly one thousand protestors rallying in the streets of Manhattan. Chanting \u201chands up, walk out,\u201d students left class to rally against racism and police brutality from Union Square to Times Square.<\/p>\n
