The murder of Chinese resident Ming Hai Loo, 24, at a pool room in North Raleigh has brought concern from a range of human rights groups as well as condemnation of the incident from the City of Raleigh Human Resources and Human Relations Advisory Commission. “This is our first recorded incident of bigoted violence directed against Asian-Americans,” said Christina Davis-McCoy of North Carolinians Against Racist and Religious Violence. “But North Carolina has often led the country in bigoted attacks against black people and gay people in the 1980s. We extend our sympathy to the entire Asian American community in North Carolina and intend to work to let them know the alleged actions of the Piche brothers do not represent the feelings of the majority of North Carolinians.” Loo’s murder takes place in a rising tide of bigoted violence directed againt African-Americans, Asian-Americans and others in the United States.

Hooks, executive director. Patterned after the famous Silent March of 1917 when thousands of men, women and children marched in silence down New York City’s Fifth Avenue, to protest lynching, discrimination and segregation, the 1989 Silent March, which will begin at noon, will conclude with a rally at the U.S. Capitol. “Bit by bit, this Supreme Court is chipping away at the civil rights gains that we and our allies spent years in achieving. It’s time now for all of us to stand up and say we are determined that there will be no fur ther retreat on civil rights and we de mand that our elected officials safeguard those rights from a Supreme Court that seems determin ed to turn back the clock,” Hooks said. The gathering point for the mar chers will be the Mall, located just off Independence Avenue, N.W., bet ween Fourtn and Seventh streets. From there, the march will pass by the Supreme Court en route to the ral ly location. In the tradition of the 1917 march, participants are being asked to wear either white or black clothing. Loose fitting, comfortable clothing is recommended. Silence will be main tained during the march itself, except for the sound of muffled drums. ••uur nation’s capital has never. seen a march of this nature and given the gravity of the situation it ad dresses, we are seeking maximum participation from our NAACP bran ches, churches and other organiza tions and institutions,” Hooks said. it Congress does not act, then we must call upon our citizenry to mount other demonstrations until our voices are heard and our just demands are acted upon. ' “We are not looking toward bring ing vast numbers of people to Washington. In this instance, the medium is the message and the medium is the Silent March that fryypanics the seriousness of our dissatisfaction and the need to move without hesitation to correct the mistakes of the court. •We are reaching out to a cross section of other national organiza tions and institutions seeking their 1 participation. We are also sending a I message to private citizens who i share our concerns to join us in the march.” unaDie group ana passes as one oi us members in order to put prospective victims at ease.” The Council of Better Business Bureaus president, James H.
