Highlights and observations of the events surrounding Condoleezza Rice’s visit to Claremont McKenna College from Port Side staffers who covered the evening.
Condoleezza Rice will appear today at Claremont McKenna College. Her talk was moved from its original location at the Athenaeum to Ducey Gymnasium due to security concerns. Students, faculty, and others in the Claremont community have organized a protest. The Port Side will cover the events live.
The organizers of today’s “Unwelcoming Condoleezza Rice” protest at Claremont McKenna College contacted the Port Side in hopes of clarifying their intentions and the tactics for the demonstration.

The organizers of Wednesday night’s “Unwelcoming Condoleezza Rice” protest have released their plans for a counter-education protest. Hopefully, their peaceful intentions will prevent Claremont from becoming another site of a protest turned ugly.
