professionally, I can tell you.” Trump hosted a reserved event, travelling with just a few of his Black supporters — including former Republican contender Dr. Ben Carson. The GOP candidate also decided to give a short speech to the congregation, after turning down the offer previously. The speech lasted 10 minutes — an uncharacteristically short speech for the candidate. Trump chose not to speak about the situation of African Americans or to ask them to take a chance on him, as he did when visiting Akron, Ohio, in August. Instead, he praised the work of Black Christians and spoke of the hope that America can “turn again to our Christian heritage to lift up the soul of our nation.” Trump also called for more conversation among different communities in the United States. “We talk past each other and not to each other,” Trump said. “And those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what’s going on. I’m here today to learn, so that we can together remedy injustice in any form, and so that we can also remedy economics so that the African- American community can benefit economically through jobs and income and so many other different ways.” Both religious and Black voters will be important to Trump in building a winning electoral map. Trump currently has close to four-fifths of white, evangelical voters, but isn’t polling nearly as well among the African-American community, and a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC/Marist poll found Trump has zero percent of the Black vote in two key swing states: Ohio and Pennsylvania. Another WSJ/ NBC poll found Trump polling at 1 percent of the Black vote nationwide compared to Hillary Clinton’s 91 percent. Saturday’s stop was Trump’s second attempt at appealing to the African-American community in Michigan, albeit in noticeably different fashions. When Trump made a campaign stop in Dimondale, Mich. last month, he spoke of issues he hoped to improve within the African-American community, particularly in cities like Detroit. While speaking to a predominantly white crowd in Akron, Ohio, last month, Trump said, “Our government has totally failed our African- American friends, our Hispanic friends and the people of our country. ... What the hell do you have to lose? Give me a chance. I’ll straighten it out.” Trump’s changing message to African-Americans has drawn a range of reactions in past months including significant backlash after his Dimondale and Akron comments. His Detroit speech was more well received by the public. Sunday night on the Diag, about 100 students gathered around the ‘M’ to honor the late 17-year old western lowland gorilla Harambe, who was shot at a zoo on May 28. Organizers said they intended the event to serve as a space where students set aside their differences in order to honor the animal. Harambe was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo last spring after a four year old boy fell into his enclosure. Two of the other gorillas in the exhibit were led back inside by zookeepers. Harambe, however, could not be coaxed back in and was considered a danger to the child’s life. Internet footage showed the gorilla dragging the child through water, helping him to his feet, and pushing him. After a few minutes, zoo officials made a decision to shoot. In the days following, memes of Harambe and various other gorillas went viral, with many expressing outrage at the zoo’s choice to shoot. LSA junior Jenna Roby said she heard about the vigil online and went to the event out of curiosity. She found it hard to tell whether or not people actually cared about the animal’s death. “It was a very interesting experience, because I couldn’t tell who was taking seriously and who was just doing it for a laugh,” Roby said. During the vigil, students lit candles in remembrance while standing around a stuffed gorilla and banana. Roby said she met people who had drove 45 minutes to attend the event. “In general it was pretty amusing to see all this happening over an Internet meme,” Roby said. “I thought Harambe jokes were funny, and now maybe a little overdone, but I haven’t really thought anything deeper than that.” Over the past few months, the viral images of Harambe have been used to convey a series of causes beyond the gorilla’s death. Among some conservative groups, Harambe memes were popularly used to mock what they described as liberal hysteria. Among others, Harambe memes were used to detail the lack of coverage of real issues on social justice in the mainstream media. Months after the gorilla’s death, the incident has become infamous. Rap artist, Young Thug, recently recorded a song called “Harambe,” who he names as one of his idols. LSA junior Will Jermyn, another vigil attendee, said he was also not sure what to make of the event. “I thought it was kind of strange,” he said. “At first I wasn’t sure what it was. I was walking through and all these people started chanting ‘Harambe.’ I started laughing because I thought it was kind of ridiculous.” CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES TRUMP From Page 1A The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University OF Michigan.
