That was the sound of the first campus protest I’d ever experienced.
I’d come to Harvard Law School in the fall of 1991 as a graduate of a small, very conservative Christian college in Nashville.
This is the era when a writer for GQ magazine, John Sedgwick, called the law school “Beirut on the Charles” because it was torn apart by disputes over race and sex.
I watched as they danced, sang and listened to speeches by student activists and sympathetic professors.
Protests got more unruly, and student activists got more aggressive.
