@DATELINE = NEW YORK CITY, NY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHUT DOWN <%-2>Hamilton Hall (a University building) with a blockade, on December 21, 1992, in protest of the University's plans to turn the Audobon Ballroom a bio-genetic research lab. The Audobon Ballroom, the assassination site of Malcolm X, is located in the middle of Harlem. The bio-genetic testing could endanger the lives of nearby residents. Instead, students and community residents want the building turned into an international multi-cultural research center, for community use. Demonstrators successfully and spontaneously shut down two main roads first Broadway, then Amsterdam Avenue, and then Broadway again. The cops were too slow and unable to arrest anyone. A series of smaller demonstrations followed the next week.<%0> @END MARKER = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ _Love & Rage_ is a Revolutionary Anarchist newspaper produced @ by the Love and Rage Network.
