''We should not have to fear for our lives when we walk down the street.''

JM Alatis of GU Pride as quoted in a piece by the Washington Post about a rally held in support of a Georgetown University student. The student says she was attacked in Georgetown, on Canal Road. She claims two white males, in their late 20s, shoved her to the ground, and hit her with her own book bag. It is reported that she was not otherwise seriously harmed physically. Some 50 students held the rally the next day on campus. (Washington Post)
