As BGLTSA members linked arms and began their march through the Yard, they were joined by onlookers, including David P. Illingworth, associate director of financial aid for Harvard and Radcliffe colleges.
"This is a fight for everyone. [The rally] is an important sign that students are not going to take hateful behavior from fellow students," said Undergraduate Council Vice President. Kamil E. Redmond '00, who attended the rally.
Even a tour group from Brazil was inspired to join the march.
"Harvard is one of the best places to study, and it is a good practice to raise this problem," said one tour group member.
Before the rally dispersed, Baldwin implored the group to "take the energy we have chanting here back to your Houses. We have to stop the hate."
