Remember that student sit-in at the University of Miami I covered?

I put together a photo slideshow of the events that took place that day, in case you are interested.

OK, I fixed the link.

These are great. You've got this people picture thing DOWN.

2. I'm really in awe of your talent
You've done such a great job conveying this story in images and words.

Somehow, the most poignant images for me are the side-by-side ones of the students without tents and the weary cops at the rear door. These underscore that at the end of the day, all the participants are just individual human beings who have made choices and had choices thrust upon them by circumstances. It reminds me of the Paul Simon lines from American Tune:

But it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest

And the really heartening thing about this story is that the good guys won!

Thanks. This was a treat!
