Northrup Auditorium, UMN Anti-War Encampment, Minneapolis

Protest tents at Northrup Auditorium in Minneapolis
The Cyrus Northrop Memorial Auditorium at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis served as the backdrop for an anti-war protest encampment on May 1st, 2024. Completed in 1929, Northrop Auditorium is a prominent neoclassical structure designed by Clarence H. Johnston Sr., functioning as a significant cultural and academic venue for the university. This encampment, the second at the university, called for the institution to divest from companies implicated in war crimes and human rights violations related to the conflict in Gaza. Protesters engaged in discussions with school officials, leading to an initial agreement late on May 1st, and the subsequent removal of tents on May 2nd, marking a temporary resolution to the protest.
