Clothesline Project
April 18, 2007
Keeping Vigil
Students, faculty, and campus administrators, including President Robert A. Scott, joined Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice on April 18, 2007, in the Earle/Waldo Hall quad for a "Take Back the Light" candlelight vigil to promote awareness of violence against women. The event was part of the Second Annual Clothesline Project, a national organization dedicated to creating awareness through visual presentation and a testimony through expression of emotion, during which students decorated T-shirts emblazoned with slogans such as "No one asks to be raped, no matter how they dress, act, live, or love," and "Real Men don't rape," that were hung from a clothesline outside of Earle Hall. The event was sponsored by the Undergraduate and Graduate Social Work Councils.
