College Students Despair, Protest Trump Nationwide | Voice of America - English
Last night, we stood in front of the White House, college and high school students waiting to find out who the 45th president would be. We climbed the trees. We sat on curbs. As the night wore on, tears took over as it dawned on many students that the future had quickly been taken away, one poll-closing at a time. Baby Boomers drove the win for the White House, not Millennials. This morning, as Hillary Clinton gave her concession speech, she assured us all -- young women in particular -- that what she did was just the beginning.
