Chicago Free Education Protesters Shut Down Michigan Avenue
A free education protest outside the Art Institute of Chicago resulted in arrests on Monday, October 24.
Several dozen protestors blocked Michigan Avenue, a major Chicago road, during rush hour to protest the support several Art Institute trustees have offered Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner. Several protesters were arrested for blocking traffic, and many in the crowd were wearing traditional graduation gowns and mortarboards.
