Protest Outside the Civic Center
We will be meeting to carpool to a protest against native american
mascots at the Bradley vs. U of I basketball game at the Peoria Civic Center.
The demonstration will last from 6 - 7:15
We have changed this a bit, there will no longer be a march or anything
like that, just the protest so come for as little or long as you can,
tell your friends!!!

"Columbus Day 1999: What Are We Celebrating?"
