Meaning
This reads as a personal memory tied to place, where political feeling becomes inseparable from a specific city and a specific moment. It can be taken to mean that public protest is also a form of belonging, a way of marking where one stood and with whom. It lands when someone looks back on activism and remembers that opposition was lived, not abstract.
