Photo Gallery | Preacher sparks protest at Penn

Around noon on Thursday, "Brother Ross" Jackson arrived on College Green preaching his message against homosexuality as part of his tour across American college campuses. Hundreds of students gathered in a circle to debate with the preacher throughout a three hour period, stopping in between classes and lunch. By 2:30pm, another group of students stood on the button in front of Van Pelt Library, holding signs to protest Brother Ross's message. Because it was a space open to the public, the preacher could not be stopped, but police stood watch throughout the afternoon.
