History Takeover: The winding path of coeducation at Grinnell

Hai-Dang Phan, on the left, and Phan Nhiên Hạo, on the right, sit in two simple wooden chairs on a red carpet looking at the camera. Their heads are tilted slightly towards each other. Their knees are spread and their hands are clasped in their laps. The chairs are part of a row and another row is visible behind them, for audience seating, but no one else is in frame. A blank whiteboard is visible on the wall behind them.

Five people sit staggered on three rows of benches, backs turned to the camera. They face a person wearing a mask, jeans, and a pale blue collared shirt with a darker blue cardigan over top. This person is standing, facing the camera, and appears to be reading from a book. Behind them are vertical white boards that come to a point, imitating a slatted wall inside of a church with a pointed roof, with what appears to be a round stained-glass window near the point. The ground is brown and fades to a mossy green near the left side. A seated figure, barely visible, sits far away in the shadows on the left.
