Anti-Racist Protest Demands Response to Recent Hate Speech
On November 8th, the University of Cincinnati’s International Socialist Organization (ISO) submitted this press release, detailing the racist slogans and images that appeared one night littering a UC building which houses student organizations. Yesterday afternoon, a collection of student groups organized a march on campus, culminating with their delivery of a list of demands to UC President Nancy Zimpher.
See for yourself:
This constructive, anti-racist sentiment comes just at Blue Ash has seen a spurt of Klan activity, with racists distributing anti-Semitic literature in response to the arrest of a Nazi over the summer.
It is encouraging, however, to see the political spirit of protest alive and well at the UC campus. We hope to see more activism from the students, and we hope Nancy Zimpher and the UC administration addresses the students’ concerns.
