Amid controversy in the 2019 Women’s March, followers of the original group accused them of being biased or more favoring of white women; the group is believed to be ignoring real issues that others with diverse backgrounds struggle with on a daily basis. This affected the organization and the movement in a negative way causing the state of the United States and the overall sanity of the groups beliefs to be divided.

Wesleyan offered an opportunity to Wesleyan students this semester; to experience the inauguration in person.

Chris Yoder, AP Government teacher, and Ted Russell, the history chair, went on the trip as well. Keep Reading
