On April 25, 2003 the Gateway reported that "more than 20 people attended 'From Justified Concern to Hateful Prejudice,' a discussion... led by Patrick McNamara, coordinator of the University of Nebraska Omaha Hate Crime Project... The open dialog focused on diversity in America... During the program, participants spent time brainstorming the kinds of prejudices and name-calling that are based on religion and race. Participants shared the slurs they had heard on campus or in the community at large. Other thoughts included vandalism, physical attacks and cross burning."
