The encampment, like the university, was a place of learning, as there were teach-ins on the injustices occurring in Gaza and on campus. It was also a place of inter-faith prayer and congregation, as Jews, Muslims, and Christians worshipped together in the space. It was a space of community, support, empathy, and care, the opposite of what UNC claimed it to be.
