“I was so excited I brought my supplies,” he says. “I feel great to show that extra solidarity.”
This solidarity is shared by the entire city.
After a day of protesting, Ken Tivey, another Yard resident, sets up his tent. Tivey works in the Economics Department and is a member of the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers. He says he takes lunch breaks from Littauer to come to the noon rallies in front of Mass. Hall.
The night before, he says he sat next to a law school professor who had come with his wife and three young children-the family had a “great time,” he says.
“Maybe we could market it in some way: people come from around the world to sleep in Harvard Yard,” he quips.
