The second day of the student occupation of the campus at Columbia University, following Minouche Shafik's Congressional hearing on anti-semitism. Over 100 students were arrested earlier in the day, (not pictured here) but hundreds of students remained and intended to spend the night. As the evening wore on, students erected tents but then disassembled them after being threatened with arrest. Food, blankets and sleeping bags were distributed, while music, dancing and prayer took up the evening hours. New York City, April 18, 2024. (Erica Lansner, Redux)
