American community believes limits their earnings.
P.J. Kim '01, a Korean American who spoke at yesterday's rally and helped organize the trip to Palisades Park, said student activism can be powerful in combatting hatred. As university students, we have more knowledge of American history, and we know that there is a cycle with these problems. American merchants, whose stores make up 90 percent of Palisades Park's business, succeeded in protesting a town business curfew they felt curbed their profits. American retail merchants still believe they are unfairly affected by the town business laws, which prohibit all retail sales after 9 p.m. In the past few months, the situation has become even more tense.
