NORTHAMPTON-- Debajo de una bandera Confederada ondeanda y un estandarte MAGA (el eslogan popularizado por el presidente Trump durante su campaña política en 2016, con el sentimiento “haz América gran una vez más”), veinte personas blancas gritaron orgullosamente a la esquina de las calles Elm y Prospect. A través de la calle, estudiantes de Smith, envueltos en banderas del orgullo LGBT se besaron. Una imagen proyectada declaró: “Pelosi, Presidente de la Cámara, luche por nuestro futuro!” en el Centro del Campus.
