My experience yesterday at Columbia University stands in stark contrast to the portrayal of the Columbia protests and the protestors by the mass media and several elected officials. In truth, the encampment demonstration is not only peaceful but also profoundly impactful, showing how the diversity of ideas among our youth can foster global peace if embraced wholeheartedly; not stamped out by force or rhetoric.

Dr. Salaam certainly knows first-hand what impact mass media has on narrative - and how easily it can be misdirected.
