Protesters have stopped in front of the Penn Museum gates, where alumni are attending the Franklin Festival as part of Alumni Weekend. “We brought you all here because this is the alumni party,” an organizer shouted. “Do you all know that Penn’s hands are red?” Protesters chanted “UPenn, Upenn you can’t hide, you get rich off genocide” as alumni filmed from the other side of the fence. A protester climbed the fence holding a Palestinian flag.
