“On the corner of West 25th Street and Broadway, a sea of blood-stained hands gather silently amid the noises of Midtown Manhattan. As tourists and locals rush across the intersection, some attempt to decipher the demonstration. A sign in Serbian Cyrillic reads, ‘Love for students, the ocean divides us, the fight connects us.’ After 15 minutes, the crowd breaks their silence, embracing one another through a shared goal, to show support for the students of Serbia. This demonstration is part of a larger student-led resistance sweeping Serbia over the past three months. After the deadly collapse of a canopy at a newly renovated railway station that claimed the lives of 16 people in Novi Sad, the country’s second-largest city, public outrage has sparked a monumental fight against corruption.” (03/27/25)
