Exclusive Audio: Harvard Yale Protest and Delay


Listen

Yesterday, on November 23, student organizers from Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard and the Yale Endowment Justice Coalition worked together to disrupt the annual Harvard Yale game. Over 100 students from both colleges sat on the field during half time, and hundreds more students, alumni, and fans ran down from the stands and joined them. The protest delayed the game over half an hour. This year, WHRB ran the only live radio coverage of The Game, and as those who listened to our Sports Broadcast already know, that means our announcers covered the protests live.
