A video on Twitter surfaced Wednesday night showing a man urinating on a chalked "Black Lives Matter" sign that was in the middle of University of Michigan's famous Diag and police are looking for more information.

The Free Press reports that the "BLM" sign was chalked on the ground during daily protests that have been happening on the campus, which also included a graduate student taking a knee in the Diag for over 24 hours.

The University has had some recent outbreaks of racism on campus. Last week, a video surfaced online of a man calling a black man the n-word, and many racist acts of vandalism had appeared on campus, too.
