Community activist Larry Fox, foreground, and about 30 fellow protesters marched in front of the Ann Arbor City Hall building before the 7:30 p.m. City Council meeting Monday to demand the city quickly return blood samples taken from 160 African-American men cleared in the recent serial-rapist investigation. The protesters, who also were urging a new trial for black radio journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal in Pennsylvania, charged, 'People of color are under attack -- What do we do? Act up, fight back!' The protesters took their signs into the meeting. 'I believe that black people were the target of an overzealous, racist investigation,' said Mikael Elsila, an Ann Arbor resident who carried a sign that read, 'No action Equals No Healing.'
