Several metro area black community leaders are rallying support for a march they're planning next week to call attention problems with "hate" crimes. Last night, about 200 people gathered at a church in St.Paul. There were repeated calls for more aggressive prosecution of perpatrators of "bias" motivated crimes. The meeting was response to the alleged racially motivated beatings of two black women in St. Paul on Martin Luther King Day. Minnesota Public Radio's Mark Zdechlik reports.
