Batum wore the shirt in response to the Charlie Hebdo shootings that killed 12 people in Paris on Wednesday. Here in the US, more than a hundred people, many with ties to France, gathered at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. bringing their own artwork and chanting ‘Je Suis Charlie’ meaning ‘I am Charlie.’
