My brother and I never expected this amount of support from across the nation and the world. It has been a truly humbling experience to say the least. We never expected for over 13k people to donate to us, all we wanted to do is show our commitment and passion for our country.
I encourage everyone to donate to our philanthropy, The Ability Experience, which supports children and adults with disabilities. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and provided kind words to a community l love so much.
(Thread) Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these “protestors” had made. I cannot say I am fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict
but it upset me that my country's flag was disrespected in order to advocate for another.
Shortly after, Chancellor Roberts came with police officers to hang the flag once again. They were met with profanity, middle fingers, thrown bottles, rocks, and water.
When the flag was raised once again, the greek community began singing the National anthem. As the Chancellor left, the quad erupted into chaos as protestors began removing the flag once again, preparing to destroy it.
