BOSTON (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (shin-zoh ah-bay) is visiting Harvard University to deliver an address at the Kennedy School of Government.

Some 100 protesters calling for Abe to apologize for what they call World War II-era crimes, including sexual slavery in Korea, stood silently holding signs and banners outside on Monday.

Abe is also scheduled to stop by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, before heading to Washington D.C. for talks with President Barack Obama.

Abe started Monday with a visit to the Boston Marathon finish line where he and his wife left a wreath to pay respect to the victims of the 2013 bombings that killed three people and injured hundreds more.

Abe will also make stops in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
