From The Chronicle, 3.21.2003
"A wave of shouts sliced through the gentle drumming of rain Thursday morning as almost 400 protesters gathered on the Chapel Quadrangle, raising their voices against the war in Iraq and the reverberations of the bombs in Baghdad.
While the war officially unfolded half a world away, the antiwar response at Duke slowly materialized around noon in a stream of students, staff and faculty who walked out of class, work and daily life to congregate at the Chapel under a sea of umbrellas. Braving the unseasonable cold and rain, many came to express their own moral conscience, and others to speak out vehemently against what they saw as an unjust war."
