Title: Defend Affirmative Action and Save Brown v. Board of Education!

<p>On April 1, thousands of high school and college students will <a 
href="http://dc.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=61016&group=webcast">march 
through the streets of Washington, DC</a> to the U.S. Supreme Court, 
demanding that the high court uphold affirmative action in the University of 
Michigan cases. These two cases represent a turning point in regard to race 
relations in the United States and represent a struggle for integration and 
equality in education throughout American life, according to the groups 
organizing the event.</p>

<p>Affirmative action is a desegregation plan for higher education, the 
groups say. If affirmative action is barred, higher education in America 
will be resegregated. Already, integration plans in grades K-12 have been 
attacked across the country and, as a result, segregation in K-12 education 
has increased dramatically, the groups say.</p>

<p>The march and rally is sponsored by The Coalition to Defend Affirmative 
Action And Integration, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary <a 
href="http://www.bamn.com/index.asp">(BAMN)</a>.</p>

<p>Schedule for Tuesday:<br>
9am-12pm: Rally at the Supreme Court, E. Capitol & 1st St NE<br>
10am-11am: Supreme Court hearing in U-Michigan Law School case, Grutter v. 
Bollinger<br>
11am-12pm: Supreme Court hearing in U-Michigan undergraduate case, Gratz v. 
Bollinger<br>
12pm: March down Constitution Ave to the Lincoln Memorial<br>
2pm: Rally at the Lincoln Memorial, 900 Ohio Dr. SW</p>
