Detroit student protests U-M admission denial, argues school needs more diversity | The Detroit News: Brooke Kimbrough’s friends were beginning to hear they had been accepted into the freshman class this fall at the University of Michigan.

Finally, she got word about her own application, but the news was not good: She hadn’t been accepted at the university she had dreamed all her life of attending.

Now Kimbrough, a Detroit resident, is protesting the decision not only for herself but for other prospective African-American and Latino students. Her fight is a familiar story of a student applying to U-M, and calling for public attention to her rejection.

But this time, the student is black, not white.
