It Felt a Little Like the Sixties



















That's me above in the light blue coat...







11AM to 1PM, Saturday, March 15, Yellow Springs, Ohio residents and other local folks, students, faculty, union members and other staff, and alums (and at least three mothers of Antioch College students, myself included) picketed Antioch University at its McGregor campus, 900 Dayton Street, in Yellow Springs.




It was an informational demonstration asking that the Antioch University Board of Trustees negotiate in good faith toward creating an independent, ongoing Antioch College, aka "Non-Stop Antioch."




It was a very positive experience, but I'm not sure what good it might do but it was worth expressing our feelings to passersby -- who honked horns in solidarity for the two hours we stood out in the cold.
