InВ video of the protest, the so-called anti-racismВ protesters wereВ seen denyingВ passage across the bridgeВ to white students - shouting вЂњgo aroundвЂќ - while happily allowing studentsВ of color to pass through.ДЄfter blocking the bridge, the protesting students moved towards the front of campus to occupy the front of the student store, because they felt it interfered with their вЂњsafe spacesвЂќ. Minority students were permitted through.Д«y and large, students avoided the protesters by taking alternate routes, notably by crossing over the nearby Strawberry Creek. What the Daily Californian doesnвЂ™t note is that activists refused passage to white students through the Sather Gate area during the demonstration. вЂњNobody even knows that MLK has a fourth floor.вЂќ

вЂњItвЂ™s not just the size of the space, itвЂ™s also the location,вЂќ Lemus said.

The Daily Californian reports that the issue is one of вЂњvisibility.вЂќ This was the groupsвЂ™ third protest-demand to be moved from the Eshleman Hall basement. Over 100 protesters from the UC-Berkeley Queer Alliance Resource Center (QARC) and bridges Multicultural Resource Center blocked student access to Sather Gate last Friday afternoon during their demonstration to вЂњbe relocated to different club space on campus.вЂќ The College Fix on Facebook The College Fix on Twitter The College Fix on Reddit The College Fix on Parler Share on Email
