100 rally to support S. Phila. High's Asian students | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/14/2009:

"More than 100 people rallied yesterday in support of Asian students beaten at South Philadelphia High School earlier this month.

Students and community members of all races gathered at the Arch Street United Methodist Church to tell the roughly 30 Asian students attacked during and after school that they applauded their bravery.

The event was held by Asian Americans United to 'show the students they are not alone and that there is a broad community of people who care about them and all of the students at the school,' according to organizers."
