Protests gathered outside the Supreme Court on Monday as it heard yet another controversial case about race-conscious college admissions.
Dozens of people lined up outside the court for the opportunity to hear the arguments in person – some of whom arrived the night before. Those speaking in favor of using race in admissions were the most prominent demonstrators. They carried signs that read"#defenddiversity" and"Asian Americans for Affirmative Action." When a speaker mentioned Edward Blum, the advocate who organized the litigation, the crowd jeered.
Madison Trice, 23, spoke in defense of affirmative action at a rally held outside the court. Trice, a member of Harvard’s class of 2021, has also previously testified for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its 2018 amicus brief. She said she felt confident that,"race conscious admissions is what allowed me to be seen for my work as opposed to negating my work.
Few people opposed to the use of race in admissions spoke outside the court on Monday, though one person did display a sign reading, “End Affirmative Discrimination Now."As the Supreme Court hears arguments on affirmative action, protests gather outside in support of race-conscious college admissions.Supreme Court should overturn a 2003 precedent
