Ignorance breeds fear.....fear fuels the hatred...

Ignorance breeds fear......fear fuels the hatred, and hatred feeds the ignorance.  

This is a quote that I've shared with many folks from various walks of life and it is appropriate now, more than ever.

Word quickly spread on the Twitterverse that the New England White Pride group was going to hold a protest outside the Worcester Public Library, on Saturday, to protest the fact that the New Hampshire group was being banned from using the library to host their meetings. (Read T&G article)

As word quickly spread through various Internet channels, an anit-Nazi protest was planned by the Progressive Labor Party, chaired by Gordon Davis, whom I've known for years.

The anti-Nazi protest was well attended and peaceful.

Many anti-Nazi protesters carried signs promoting laws that protected and allowed immigrants to become US citizens, as well as there being no place for hatred in Worcester, and the world.

What I found interesting, was the number of people that were hanging out in the Worcester Common who seemed to not care one bit that there was a protest taking place.  There was more interest by the passerbys in cars who wondered what was going on, and a few stopped to ask.


Worcester Police Department made sure that their presence was seen and known, and I must have counted 6 officers, and additional officers who drove by, probably circling the Common and the library to make sure there were no issues.

I'm sure this is not the last planned protest by the New England White Power group, directed toward the Worcester Public Library, but we can only hope that any and all protests are peaceful and uneventful.

Stay tuned!
