Medical students staged so-called "die-ins" in universities across the U.S. on Wednesday as demonstrations on race issues in America continued.

The students aimed to highlight the lack of diversity in the medical profession in the U.S. with the dramatic action that featured activists dropping to the ground wearing their lab coats.

Medical students rallied online under the hashtag #WhiteCoatsforBlackLives in a series of protests spreading from Boston to Chicago. Protesters toted signs referencing Eric Garner and Michael Brown, whose police-involved deaths this summer have ignited numerous demonstrations across the country.

At Harvard Medical School, both students and faculty got involved in the demonstration. According to the Boston Globe, about 100 people took part.

According to theGlobe, the die-in lasted 15 and a half minutes, a mashup of significant numbers related to the deaths of Brown and Garner. Four and a half minutes were for Brown, the unarmed Ferguson teenager who lied on the ground for about four and a half hours after he was killed and 11 minutes were for Garner, the Staten Island man who told police he couldn't breathe 11 times before he died in July.

At Yale University, student protesters lay on the ground for four and a half minutes, also in reference to Brown's death. The failure of grand juries to indict police involved in the deaths of Brown and Garner ignited the most recent demonstrations in the U.S., which have included a multitude of die-ins.

New Haven protesters were quick to point out the inequality that exists within the profession.

Political Talker Larry Elder Gets Rare Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Posted on by

The Class of 2015 Star Honorees the 30 people selected to receive a star on Hollywoods Walk of Fame includes TV, movie and music personalities as well as one unique selection: Larry Elder, one of just a handful of celebrities in political talk-radio to get his own star.

Of the more than 2,500 people honored with a star, hundreds are from the radio industry, though few who focus on political talk. Rush Limbaugh, who pioneered conservative talk radio in the 1980s doesnt have a star, nor do Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck or Michael Savage, all of whom have bigger audiences than Elder.

"My first thought was, 'I am happy and grateful for the appreciation. My second thought was, 'I hope they didn't confuse me with Samuel L. Jackson,'" Elder joked in an email to The Hollywood Reporter. "Maybe my induction might induce the committee to recognize the contributions of others in the field."

So far, the only other political talkers to have a star are Bill Cunningham, the late Dan Avey and the late Ray Briem, three conservatives, along with Bill Handel, a centrist, and no liberal talk-show hosts --Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow or Stephanie Miller, for example -- have a star. This despite the fact that Arbitron reported a year ago that news/talk/info was the nations second most popular radio format among 29 different categories, behind country music and ahead of pop-contemporary music.

The Walk of Fame breaks its inductees into five categories. In the 2015 Class representing movies are: Raymond Chandler (posthumous), Eugenio Derbez, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Garner, Peter Jackson, Bob Kane (posthumous), Daniel Radcliffe, Paul Rudd, Snoopy (the animated character), Melissa McCarthy and Christoph Waltz.

Television is represented by: James L. Brooks, Ken Ehrlich, Bobby Flay, Seth MacFarlane, Julianna Margulies, Chris ODonnell, Jim Parsons, Amy Poehler, Kelly Ripa and Sofia Vergara.

Recording is represented by: Kukasz Dr. Like Gottwald, Kool & The Gang, Pitbull, Al Schmitt and Pharrell Williams.

Live Theatre/Live Performance is represented by: Kristin Chenoweth, Dick Gregory and Ennio Morricone.

And then theres Elder, the lone selection from the 2015 Class representing radio. Elder is on AM 790 KABC in Los Angeles, though he used to be syndicated nationally. He has also dabbled in television as the host of Moral Court and has made a documentary film called Michael & Me, a response to Michael Moores Bowling for Columbine.
