Roughly 200 people gathered on the Prairie View A&M campus on Sunday to share memories of Sandra Bland and encourage the community to push for answers in her death. Bland died July 13 in police custody, three days after she was pulled over for an improper lane change and arrested in connection with assaulting a public servant.
