The campaign began after students at [[Emory University]] students complained of chalk writings on campus that promoted [[Donald Trump]], including such innocuous slogans as "Trump 2016," and "Make America Great," and the somewhat controversial "Build The Wall," a reference to Trump's campaign promise to build a wall along the [[Mexico|Mexican]] border and force Mexico to pay for it. Students told Emory's dean that the messages frightened them scared; after the story went viral, campus activists campuses across the country began to express thewir support for Trump in chalk.
