Mona Chalabi Instagram – Last week, faculty at several New York universities organized the People’s Graduation because so many ceremonies were moved or cancelled (the President of Columbia was more interested in hosting cops on campus than her students). I’m so grateful to have been there. Unfortunately, I started ugly crying when I saw the faces of the Palestinian journalists in the crowd and could barely get the words from my mouth to the mic. I’m not going to say something trite like “I’m proud of these kids” – I’m mostly just sad and bitter that this class got too old too soon. They had to spend their educational time teaching people who should know better.
As a thank you, I made this limited edition print as a gift for the class of 2024. Only the good got them. | Posted on 20/May/2024 21:32:49
