Every year in the fall, in celebration of national
fight police brutality day, the
Meridian Coffeehouse, a
ramshackle, student-run coffeehouse of the
College of William & Mary holds a hot-grits wrestling tournament. This event is free and a favorite of a select group of students at the college, the event will be moving into its fourth year in the fall of
2001.
The event is non-competitive and free, the Meridian has currently been allocated the cost for supplies (several gallons of grits and a tarp) within the college of William & Mary activities budget. Hot grits wrestling will continue as an
annual event until such time as the
structure known as the Meridian Coffeehouse is
condemned.
