Last night, I had the opportunity to hear from a leader of the Columbia University protest. This young man, with his imposing stature and undeniable confidence, had been the face of the movement for days.
Yet, when it came to the negotiation table, the people he had represented and fought for rejected him. It was a stark reminder of the paradox of representation in protests; for example, Peter denied Jesus.
I read a note on X explaining that most of the protesters in IVY Universities are students from poor backgrounds and children of immigrants.
Why do you think students from affluent backgrounds rarely join in any protests? Join the conversation below.
