Human rights activists to convene
By Jacqueline Woge
Emerald Report*
A Jewish man’* restaurant was wrapped with
swastikas. The lives of two half-white, half-black
children were threatened hy a member of the
white supremacist organi/.ation Aryan Nations.
An outspoken Jewish talk show host was mur
dered by The Order, another racist organization
“Nobody has a right to harass little kids, espe
cially for something they have no control over,"
said Coeur d'Alene. Ida. realtor Marhsall Mend.
"We’re all supposes! to be created equal with
the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness." ho said.
Diversity and hate crimes such as these, which
took place in the early 1980s, as well as others
since then promptod Mond to participate in con
ferences such as the 6th annual Northwest Coali
tion Against Malicious Harassment Conference.
He and other Northwest human rights activists
are gathering throughout the weekend in the EMU
to attend speeches by four nationally renowned
human rights leaders.
The four keynote speakers include civil rights
attorney Morris Dees, human relations authority
Dr. C.T. Vivian, National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People President Rupert
Kichurdson and International and Ethnic Studies
Associate Professor Robert Proud foot.
"Decs has turned civil rights litigation into an
urt form," said ('ity of Eugono Human Rights Anu
lyst drug Rikhoff. Dees won a S12.5 million suit
in loot) against the White Aryan Resistance for its
role in the murder of Mulugata Seraw, a black
Ethiopian man in Portland.
This conference is different from the Coalition's
past conferences because of its size, and because
it was organized literally by the community, in
volving more than a 100 volunteers, the cities of
Eugene and Springfield. Lane County, tho Univer
sity, Lane Community College and the three met
ropolitan school districts.
County Commissioner Jack Roberts said the
conference taking placo in Lane County will bring
attention to the fact that diversity and hate crimes
is not just burning a cross on someone's lawn.
“My concern is that for the most part, Lane
County has been in denial,” ho said.
Coalition Director Bill YVassinuth said halo and
diversity crimes are partially the result of slug
gish economics, although those crimes wore in
creasing even during more prosperous yoars. He
said other factors include increasing diversity and
lack of leadership on the issue.
"Our elector! leadership has been apathetic, if
not counterproductive on this issue," he said, re
ferring to a 1088 political campaign ad that could
bo viewed as racist. "Tho point is that if people
don't put positive energy into combatting mali
cious harassment, human rights will go
backwards."
