Leaders of the student groups who have decidedto join the protest stressed their disapproval ofwhat Held referred to as Jeffries' "hatefulviews."
In addition, several outside groups will attendthe protest, according to J. Eliot Morgan '92, aCrimson editor whose clash with Jeffries and hisbodyguards during an interview drew widespreadmedia attention this fall. He said the JewishDefense League, the AIDS Coalition to UnleashPower (ACT-UP) and Hillel groups from otheruniversities will attend.
Morgan, who alleges that Jeffries threatenedhis life, said he will be protected tomorrow bymore than 10 bodyguards from the Jewish DefenseOrganization.
"Given the insufficient time and the inabilityto contextualize Jeffries' remarks, we feel it isunwarranted for the CSA to join Hillel," CSA VicePresident of Communication Kelly M. Bowdren '94said.
Held reiterated yesterday that the protest isdirected against Jeffries, "not the BSA or freedomof speech."
