On the day of the takeover, just three days after his wedding, Epps was meeting with other administrators in University Hall.
"We were meeting and heard this rush of a lot of people and the hanging of chains," Epps says. "We rushed out and I went upstairs to tell the ladies upstairs to leave because it was going to get rough."
On the way upstairs, Epps was grabbed by six or seven students and forced out of the building.
"I've never been treated like this even though I was born in the South," says Epps, who describes the protestors' behavior as appalling.
A Harvard legend has it that Epps said "Unhand me, mother fuckers," while struggling with the protestors, but he denies this account.
