Affirmative Action Rally Draws ThousandsStudents from throughout Bay Area converge on U.C. Berkeley By Jose A. Lopez/Bay City News Service It was, for the most part, a civil — albeit passionate — rally, as thousands gathered at the University of California at Berkeley last week to urge the regents to repeal their ban on affirmative action. The participants virtually covered Sproul Plaza, which leads to the main entrance of the university. They stood there, chanting and listening to speeches, for most of the afternoon. The event on March 8 culminated with a traffic-stopping march, in which 2,000 to 3,000 people made their way through downtown Berkeley city streets, carrying signs and reciting pro-affirmative action incantations before returning to the campus to call it a day. |
