DeRay Mckesson, the prominent civil rights activist who last month was named interim chief human capital officer for Baltimore's public school system after an unsuccessful mayoral bid, was among more than 100 people arrested in Baton Rouge amid nationwide protests against police killings late Saturday and early Sunday.
In a widely-circulated image of his arrest, the Baltimore native is seen on one knee, staring directly ahead of him wearing a T-shirt reading "#StayWoke" — a Twitter hashtag used to urge awareness of the political, social and cultural realities facing minority communities in America. Mckesson turned 31 on Saturday; he was named to schools CEO Sonja Santelises's cabinet on June 28.
Mckesson's arrest came as protesters rallied Saturday at the Baton Rouge police department, the state's Capitol and the convenience store where Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old black man, was fatally shot by two white Baton Rouge police officers Tuesday.

After being appointed last month, Mckesson said he was ready to get to work."
Our tax dollars are funding these thugs.
Mckesson is Shaun Kings boyfriend, right?
Not boyfriend, business partner? my bad.
C - All of the above.
While good on one hand, on the other it’ll give him headlines and a voice.
Wait for it.... Trump’s fault.
I heard somewhere that he was a Bowdoin grad. From what I understand, that school has gone down the toilet and this would be a good example of that.
He and the rest of BLM should be arrested for conspiracy to commit murder.
Worse than that. Search deray.. jack.. on twitter...or pay attention to the shirt he was arrested in and then look up jack..on twitter..ahem..allegedly...rumor...
McKesson as an admitted fag.
He works for the school system and his slogan is ‘#STAY WOKE’? How ignorant is that?
Political pay-offs are still juicy in Baltimoron.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
