THIS WEEK IN HISTORY-DAY OF SILENCE
flonUnimr,i„rtudeiillorts«theB.llolSil,nc.e,MbitinMcCrarvCeiit«.
The pattern of student pro
tests wracking the country is
not a recent endeavor. On April
13, 2005, more than 130 stu
dents, faculty and staff took
a vow of silence in solidarity
with those in the LGTBQIA
community subjected to acts
of violence, abuse and discrim
ination.
The community wore black
T-shirts with the word “silence”
scrawled across them as they
participated in the National
Day of Silence. Thirty partic
ipating faculty members wore
pins to demonstrate their sup-'
port in place of remaining
silent because of their respon
sibility to teach classes.
Day of Silence is a way for
FILE PHOTO BY ELON NEWS NETWORK
Students to express how they
feel about discrimination and
the community:’ said Hillary
Jones, a freshman at the time.
Students at Elon University
gathered around the Fonville
Fountain in order to make a
statement. At 5 p.m. that day,
smdents joined together out
side of the Moseley Center to
break the silence by reflecting
on the day’s events.
“Silence has many effects.”
said Alexis Smith, a freshman
at the time. “Those participat
ing realize how hard it is to
stay silent and those interact
ing with the participants realize
how much they are missing
when their peers are forced
into silence.”
