(Duke Chronicle) Other than one protester being removed, Linda Sarsour’s on-campus talk on “Islam and Intersectionality” took place on campus Monday night without issues — and with a heavy security presence.
Sarsour, a prominent political activist who co-chaired the 2017 Women’s March on Washington, touched on a range of topics, from current policies under President Donald Trump to her own experience as an activist, Monday at Schiciano Auditorium.
The talk featured a heavy security presence, with Sarsour arriving on campus less than three weeks after another Sarsour talk drew protesters in nearby Hillsborough.
The speaker did not shy away from the topic of Palestine, discussions of which have led to allegations of anti-Semitism against her in the past.
