On the morning of April 25, about 30 student protesters set up on tarps in Centennial Common, linked arms and began chanting pro-Palestinian slogans. What started as a small group of demonstrators quickly escalated into a two-day-long encampment, joining similar Gaza solidarity encampments at colleges across the country. From high points of tension to quieter moments of solidarity and community, Huntington News photographers captured it all. What follows is a look at the scenes of the encampment, one week after it began.
