Medical School Students Stage Die-In's to Protest Police Brutality & Racial Biases in Healthcare System - The Root: "Medical school students across the nation put on their white coats on Wednesday and staged die-in’s as a way to protest against the recent killings of unarmed black men by law-enforcement and the racial biases that also exist in healthcare, Al Jazeera reports.
