Two days ago, Barack Obama spoke at the Bank United Center at the University of Miami in regards to women's issues. Obama, the Democratic party's presidential candidate, is the first African-American to be nominated in the current two-party system.
While I didn't go to the event, I do know a lot of people that did. And I know even more that desperately tried to find tickets but couldn't find a way to get in. The event, "Women's Rally for the Change We Need," was open not just to students and faculty at the University of Miami, but to anyone in south Miami who could manage to obtain tickets.
To accommodate those who couldn't attend, the University set up various watch points throughout campus. From what I hear, there were a large amount of people who showed up to see the event from these watch points.
In any case, at the University of Miami's website, there is a link with a story recapping the events. There is also a small photo gallery included.
Now, by no means do I get my news from the university's home page, but if anyone were to, there's the option of checking out what's in the news around UM right from the computer.
