Cornell University - Description:
- View looking south down a path behind Sage Chapel toward Barnes Hall at a ramshackle blockade with handwritten signs reading "Smash racism!" and "Not one more step 'until Cornell divests'." On the left of the blockade is a wooden roll fence around some small trees, a bunch of picket signs, and a banner at an angle too oblique to read. On the left are several tents and a sign pointing the way toward "Faculty Shanty." Down the path are two people in gym shorts and t-shirts under a banner reading "Save Shantytown Protect our Freedom of Speech!"
