Wow. In 1983 I smuggled a UNC divest now banner (in ANC colors) under my blue graduation robe & 4 of us unfurled it as we marched across the field for graduation. We got boos & cheers both. My dad stormed out; nobody arrested me

Just an addendum - this was actually 1987. My wife graduated in 1983; some historian I am!
