Minorities try to show Yale freshmen what it's like to have a residential college named after John C. Calhoun

Over the past several weeks, ULA [Unidad Latina en Acción] members have rechristened the controversial college themselves, last week writing the name “Hitler” on tape pasted over the name “Calhoun” on its Elm Street plaque. This week, they wrote “Osama Bin Laden.”

“So now you know how people of color feel,” an organizer said into a megaphone. “And we will keep on doing it until you get the point, Yale.”

Later, several protesters added “Or Ida B Wells” to the sign on another piece of masking tape.
