mii soo proud aff dem blakk peeps -
Yep. Proud of all the protesters - it was about 50 of them according to CNN.
The Saturday night protesters were all paying customers, said Adam Crane, the symphony's vice president for external affairs.
"There were about 50 people who had purchased tickets," he said.
The flash mob was the idea of Sarah Griesbach and Elizabeth Vega.
Two weeks ago, the pair were booed and handcuffed after hanging banners at a St. Louis Cardinals game.
"People were just outraged: How dare we interrupt a baseball game! They were saying really racist things," Vega said.
As they were escorted out of the stadium in handcuffs, Griesbach joked, "We probably need a different venue."
The idea for the symphony flash mob was born.Comment
