Columbia protesters take over Hamilton Hall -- a building demonstrators occupied during 1968 anti-Vietnam war protests

NEW YORK -- Protesters on Columbia University's campus occupied Hamilton Hall early Tuesday -- a building demonstrators took over during anti-Vietnam War protests in 1968.

Addressing a crowd in front of the building, one protester said, "We demand that Columbia divest all of its finances including the endowment from companies and institutions that profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide, and occupation in Palestine. … We will not stop until every single one of our demands are meant, until every single inch of Palestine is free."

A group representing the demonstrators issued a news release spelling out their demands.
