The March for Our Lives Rally happened in State College, PA on March 24th. 

It started at State High and marched to Old Main lawn. At Old Main there were speakers who talked and energized the crowd. Justin Elis, a Penn State freshman majoring in IST, wore a sign stating “I Prefer Dangerous Freedom Over Peaceful Slavery.”
This sign prompted attention from some members of the crowd who came over to argue with him. He engaged with whoever asked him questions until the event died down.
