Last week, students painted 200 bricks with derogatory words and phrases in the North Quad as part of Social Justice Week, hosted by the Residence Hall Association. The bricks for the "Writing on the Wall" project were cemented together to build a wall that was 4 feet high and 44 feet wide and was displayed until Thursday.

The wall was then demolished to symbolize breaking down barriers of hatred. Check out the time lapse video to see the wall's construction. Also, check out the slideshow to learn more about the "Writing on the Wall" event and see some of the words students painted on the bricks.
