Video: Memorial at Notre Dame

Posted in 2007 Equality Ride: West by Brian Murphy on March 10th, 2007

On Thursday March 9, the Equality Riders were allowed on to campus to attend mass and interact with students. They were given no official platform, were instructed not to speak with groups, and were forbidden from passing out any supplementary information. When Riders spoke out publicly and shared information about upcoming events with students as requested, they were cited for trespassing and required to leave.

The following day, the Equality Riders returned, arm in arm with Notre Dame students, to lay a memorial wreath at the statue of Notre Dame alum Tom Dooley, a gay military officer. Jonathan will be blogging about the experience later. Here is a video documenting Notre Dame’s response.
