Students gathered at Harvard University on Wednesday to denounce a speech by an author who co-wrote a book discussing racial differences in intelligence and touched off a boisterous protest earlier this year in Vermont.

Chanting "black, brown, Asian, white, Harvard united for human rights" and "you can't turn us around," dozens of students stood on the front lawn of the university's Museum of Natural History to protest the appearance of Charles Murray as his speech got underway inside.

Murray, a political scientist who co-authored the 1994 book "The Bell Curve," has said his views are misunderstood. His speech on Wednesday was closed to the media.

Student speakers, part of the organizing Black Students Association and the Undergraduate Council's Black Caucus, condemned what they say is Murray's hateful rhetoric, which they believe is an attack on the existence of minorities.

1. Get one of Stephen Jay Gould's former students

as a rebuttal speaker. Invite Murray to join him/her on the podium.

2. Misunderstood?

He's had 23 years to set the record straight. And has yet failed to do so to the same masses that lapped up his pseudoscientific nonsense.

He's not only a fraud, but he's also a liar.

3. Ignore him

When people stop paying attention to this quack, maybe he'll do the first productive thing in his life and kill himself.
