While most of the protestors were Asian-American students, a significant minority of white and black students took part as well.

"It was incredibly derogatory and degrading to humanity," she said.

The group was mostly silent as it passed through Tercentenary Theater, with many marchers talking quietly to each other.

As the group approached the intersection of Mass. Ave. and Plympton St., those holding signs raised them to block oncoming traffic. It took several minutes for the group to cross the street.

Once they had crossed Mass. Ave. and assembled at The Crimson, event organizer Seng Yang '01 addressed the crowd of about 50 with the event's first official comments.

Yang started by explaining who she felt the protestors were speaking for.
