Harb ’04: Twenty years ago, Brown University didn’t want to fly my flag at commencement because I’m Palestinian
My time at Brown was bittersweet. At my 20th reunion this year, it is a sense of bitterness that prevails. Right after arriving at Brown in September 2000 from Ramallah, Palestine (where I had to wash my last load of laundry with our well water because the Israeli occupation had shut off the water supply to Ramallah — a regular practice Palestinians have been coping with for decades), the peace negotiations fell apart and the second intifada broke out. I was lucky to find wonderful classmates at Brown who were willing to listen and help me navigate being Palestinian in America. However, my interactions with the University continued to mark my time in college. The same kind of erasure I experienced is playing out today, and Brown alumni must take forceful steps to counter it — and to hold the administration accountable.
