ISU community joins together for March Against Hate

Lloyd Taylor, a senior communication major, stood in Dede Plaza shivering while distributing signs for the March Against Hate, a closing event for Tuesday's annual Human Rights Day.

Taylor works for the Office of Diversity and Afirmative Action and helped organize the rally, which lapped around the courtyard to Cherry Street, Fifth Street and then ended in the Hulman Memorial Student Union.

He said it was a great day, despite the weather.

Nearly thirty students, faculty and community members marched to advocate anti-hate awareness.

According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living, health care and well-being.

Otte raised awareness about affordable housing and the right to life.

Randy Stevens, a doctor at Landsbaum Center for Medical Education, presented "Falling Through the Cracks," a video response to a survey conducted in 1997, which founded Saint Ann's Clinic.

"In 1997, the world was completely different," Stevens said. "Economically, things were good and health care was diminishing."
