DePaul Students Rally Against Kavanaugh

The images below chronical the October 4, 2018, DePaul student protest of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This was just one of several protests that took place on this day as it was a nationwide planned protest. At the time of the protest, Justice Kavanaugh had yet to be confirmed and he was still under FBI investigation for multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Hearings over the accusations had taken place the previous week, which prompted Sen. Jeff Flake to request an FBI investigation. During the weekend following these nationwide protest, Justice Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court, still amid protest.
