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. Las policías dispersas, las patrullas de Seguridad de Campus, y les agentes de la Sevicia Secreta miraron inexpresivamente.

Smith began its Year on Democracies with a Presidential Colloquium featuring Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. She opened the annual Colloquium series on Sep 8, answering questions from Smith students and faculty about the condition of the U.S. democracy and her position within it as one of the most politically powerful women in the country. The event was held at John M. Greene Hall, allowing a portion of the Smith community to attend in-person, while others watched the live-stream.

Across the street, Smith students wrapped in pride flags kissed each other. A projected image declared, “Speaker Pelosi, Fight for our future!” on the Campus Center. Scattered police officers, campus safety patrollers, and Secret Service agents watched blankly.
