AMHERST. Mass.--About 150 University of Massachusetts students last Thursday held a candle-light rally to protest a white supremacy group called Utopia and to support gay and minority students on campus, the Collegian reported.
The rally comes in the wake of death threats signed by Utopia, sent to an unidentified Black male gay student.
Utopia leaflets advocating white supremacy, U.S. superiority and the suppression of gay rights appeared on the Amherst campus a few weeks ago.
"We will not sit back as long as sentiments like those of Utopia exist," Diana Ohlbaum, a member of the Amherst College Action Coalition, said.
