Community activists and students marched through the North Philadelphia neighborhood surrounding Temple University on April 16 to demand the immediate reinstatement of Dr. Anthony Monteiro as a professor with tenure in the Department of African American Studies. Protesters also demanded the firing of Dean Teresa Soufas for her racist political and retaliatory actions against Monteiro.

At a concluding rally outside the university’s administration building, student organizer Sabrina Sample urged students to get involved: “To be silent means to be OK with gentrification in North Philadelphia.”
