Following 
President-elect 

Donald Trump’s upset win 
last week, the University of 
Michigan campus has been 
filled 
with 
protests, 
vigils 

and 
rallies. 
However, 
on 

Thursday night, the Diag was 
host to an hour of rest as the 
musical group Love and Peace, 
affiliated with a new movement 
on campus by the same name, 
played 
a 
variety 
of 
blues 

and reggae songs promoting 
inclusion and equity.

Peace and Love began its 

performance in front of Hatcher 
Graduate Library with a slow, 
keyboard-heavy 
and 
lyrical 

tribute to peace during tense 
times. Lead singer Christopher 
McClendon, a Business senior, 
said to the audience of nearly 50 

students that they were there 
to remind University students 
that cohesion in the campus 
community was still possible 
amid a political firestorm.

“If we just take a little time 

to love one another, there is 
power to break every chain 
of violence that exists in this 
country,” McClendon said. “It’s 
time to unite under one concept 
of love. Clap your hands and 
show that we are united.”

As students began dancing 

around the block ‘M,’ LSA 
junior Kendall Lindsey said he 
came to watch the performance 
to support its mission, but 
wished it could spark tangible 
change at the University.

“In the wake of everything 

that’s happened, all of the hate 
right now on campus, it’s good to 
see the love spinning around,” 
Lindsey said. “But that’s not 
the end of it — it’s not just about 

peace and love. There need to 
be actual services implemented 
to make sure every student here 
feels welcome, feels like they 
matter.”

LSA juniors KeeAna Lane 

and Sydny Rivers said they 
attended 
the 
performance 

looking for a positive end to a 
taxing week at the University.

“The vibe here has been 

intense, but I can’t let it get to 
me,” Lane said. “I didn’t expect 
the singing. I didn’t know what 
to expect. But it’s a positive 
thing, and if anything is needed 
right now, this is it.”

Rivers 
echoed 
Lane’s 

sentiments, adding that events 
like this one had the potential 
to change minds in a positive 
way.

“Election week had a deep 

effect on me,” Rivers said. “But 
maybe it’s time to push on and 
work together, and maybe this 

is the beginning.”

As 
McClendon 
sang 

Stevie 
Wonder’s 
“Isn’t 

She Lovely” to a gathering 
crowd of students, Public 
Policy junior Nadine Jawad, 
co-founder of the Peace and 
Love movement and a senior 
policy adviser to Central 
Student 
Government, 

addressed the crowd.

Jawad said she wanted to 

magnify the voices of people 
who 
feel 
systematically 

oppressed amid prevailing 
political and racial tensions 
in the United States.

“My message is about 

retaliation,” Jawad said. “In 
the last week, we’ve all been 
pushed and tried in ways 
that are unimaginable. But 
when we fight back with love 
and peace, instead of anger 
and frustration, we send a 
message. I could spend five 
minutes talking about how 
an Uber driver cussed me out 
last week, but instead we’re 
going to focus on us. Because 
the people on the Diag right
