On a recent Saturday, the Yale University campus buzzed with excitement. The 141st football showdown between Harvard and Yale was about to kick off. Fans, both young and old, gathered for a lively tailgate party. The air was filled with laughter, music, and the smell of grilled food. People wore team colors, played games, and enjoyed drinks.
Amidst the fun, two alumni stood out. Regina Schwartz, a Harvard graduate, dressed as a turkey. Erica Newland, a Yale alum, wore a full bulldog costume. They weren't just there to cheer for their teams. They had a mission. They wanted to rally support against recent attacks on higher education.
The pair moved through the crowd, handing out flyers. Their message was clear: "Stand firm against attacks on higher education. " They asked fans if they would support academic freedom and the First Amendment. The atmosphere was noisy, with multiple speakers blasting different tunes. But their message was heard.
This event was more than just a football game. It was a show of unity. Fans from rival teams came together for a common cause. They showed that even in a competitive spirit, people can unite for a greater good.
