CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -

Community members are gathering to speak against hate speech on college campuses after two controversial speakers visited a North Carolina university.

Students from the University of North Carolina and various community groups will meet outside the courthouse in Chapel Hill on Monday to support a campus hate speech policy.

They also will speak against Youth for Western Civilization. The student group, which opposes what it calls mass immigration and radical multiculturalism, invited former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo and former Virginia Rep. Virgil Goode to speak on the campus in April.

Tancredo's speech was canceled after campus police used pepper spray on protesters denouncing his stance against illegal immigration. Goode's speech a week later was completed though seven people were arrested.
