After being unable to find an off-campus location that would host the club’s black mass, the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club announced it would no longer be sponsoring the event, but the New York-based Satanic Temple planned to stage their own black mass at an “undisclosed private location.”
Earlier Monday, the Harvard University student club hosting a satanic black mass decided to move the event off campus, but was having difficulty finding a location.
Just after 5 p.m., the Harvard Crimson reported that the event, which is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. has been moved off campus due to “grave misinterpretations about the nature of the event.” The event, put on by the extension school’s Cultural Studies Club, was then scheduled to place at the Middle East, a bar and club in Cambridge’s Central Square, but a manager told the Crimson that negotiations had broken down.
The group coming from New York to participate in the planned black mass said it would continue plans to hold the event to “reaffirm their respect for the Satanic faith and to demonstrate that the most powerful response to offensive speech is to shame those who marginalize others by letting their own words and actions speak for themselves.”
