Standing up against hate

Dec 6, 2007 2:45 AM

High school students from all five boroughs took part in the “Day Out Against Hate” sponsored by City Council Speaker Christine Quinn on Nov. 29 in response to a 20-percent increase in reported hate crimes in New York City. "You can only fight hate and win when good people stand up and say they won't tolerate hate," Quinn, who attended events in every borough, said at the Petrides School in Staten Island.
