Martin Luther King, Jr.
Commemorated
By SYBIL MANN
Suff Writer
UNC-G Neo Black Society's
"second Annual Celebration of the
Birth of Martin Luther King, Jr."
was highlighted by an address
given by Reverend Lorenzo Lynch
last Friday night.
"They all died in faith..."
{Hebrews 11:13) was chosen as the
theme of the address. According to
Lynch, pastor of Whit* Rock Bap
tist Church in Durham, "Folks
in Hebrew* were under stress.
They didn't get what they suffered
for, but they died believing in it."
Lynch told the audience of about
125, "King's contribution was not
the marches, the protests, the
speeches... The point that King
made was to use all people to say
the segration 'ain't right.' His
marches were not against
anybody," he emphasized. "They
were just saying,' It ain't right'."
Lynch continued, drawing ap-plause
and shouts of "No, it ain't
right" from the crowd.
The "Celebration" began Friday
afternoon with a series of films on
King and prejudice screened in
Cone Ballroom. Friday night's
program also included selections
from the NBS Choir and reading
of King's famous "I Have A
Dream" speech by NBS member
Joseph Johnson which received a
standing cvation from the audien-ce.
Lynch himself is no stranger to
that speech of the Civil Right's
movement. Pastor of Greensboro's
Providence Baptist Church from
1958 to 1965, Lynch's church was
one of the three Gr"ensboro chur-shes
that hosted civil rights mar-ches.
These churches allowed
students to march from their
facilities. Lynch said.
Lynch told the audience, "I was
in Greensboro when the protests
began; when the students at A&T
and Bennett Colleges linked arms
and marched up Market Street."
King's role as a minister was
also important to Reverend Lynch.
"King dramatized the issue of race
in a moral context, the question of
race became not an exclusively
political, not exclusively economic,
but instead a moral question. King
also reaffirmed that the clergy has
a place in the social arena affecting
social change." he said.
Lynch added after the speech
that Martin Luther King had af-fected
him personally by
"Dramatizing '-hat students had
the power to change things if they
tried."

Demonstration Against Salvadorean
Troops Took Place At Fort Bragg
By HOMER YOST
SUHWriter
In spite of sub-freezing tem-peratures,
over 200 protestors
marched onto Fort Bragg in op-position
to the unprecedented
large-scale training of foreign
troops on U.S. soil last Monday.
On Dec. 15, the New York Times
reported that the Reagan Ad-ministration
planned to have the
U.S. Army train over 1500
Salvadoran soldiers at Port Bragg,
N.C. and Fort Benning, Ga.
Shortly before the New Year, it
was reported that the 16-week
training by the U.S. Army's Green
Berets would begin with the
arrival of 60 Salvadoran sergeants
and officers at Fort Bragg on Jan.
9. The other 1,000 Salvadoran in-fantrymen
to be trained at Fort
Bragg and 500-600 junior officers
coming to Fort Benning will arrive
later this month and in February.
Within less than two weeks the
National Office of CISPES (Com-mittee
in Solidarity with the
People of El" Salvador), which
represents 300 chapters across the
nation, Triad Citizens Concerned
for Central America (TCCCA)
based in Greensboro, and Carolina
Committee on central America of
Chapel Hill mobilized a demon-stration
opposing the presence of
the Salvadoran troops in North
Carolina.
National Representatives in the
delegation included David
Dellinger, long-time anti-war ac-tivist
and one of the Chicago
Seven; Rev. James Lawson, Pres.
if the SCI.C, civil rights and peace
activist and colleague of Martin
Luther King; Antonio Ramos,
Episcopal Bishop of the National
Council of Churches; Moustafa
Randolph, Vietnam veteran and
Vice-President of the Black
Veterans for Social Justice.
The North Carolina members
represented a broadly based
delegation, black and white, men
and women, religious and com-munity
leaders, including Rev.
Henry Atkins, Episcopal Chaplain
While members of the delegation
criticized the massive counter-in-surgency
training program at For-ts
Bragg and Benning as a major
escalation of U.S. intervention in
El Salvador, protestors gathered
in the parking lot of the Sheraton
Hotel in Fayetteville, shadowed by
an army helicopter circling above
and undercover agents on the
ground snapping photos of

at UNC-G and Co-coordinator of
TCCCA; Anne Welsch, North
Carolina Representative of the
American Friends Service Com-mittee
(AFSC); Rev. Denny Bur-nette,
Presbyterian Pastor from
Fayetteville; Barbara Arnwine,
Co-coordinator of the National
Black Independent Political Party
(NBIPP); and Rev. W.W. Finlator,
Baptist Pastor from Raleigh and
President of the North Carolina
ACLU.
everyone in the area.
After the press conference the
protestors drove to Spring Lake
where they made a two mile march
to the border of Fort Bragg,
shouting slogans such as "Reagan,
Haig, You can't hide, we charge
you with genocide!" and carrying
placards and large photos of vic-tims
of torture by the Salvadoran
Army and death squads.
At the border the group was met
by a group of military men headed
by Col. Eric Erickson, Deputy
Fort Commander. Rev. Henry
Atkins and Anne Welsch headed
the protest delegation and an-nounced
to Erickson the group's
intention of marching 500 yards
into the Fort to deliver a letter
protesting the training of
Salvadoran troops at Fort Bragg.
Atkins said the letter was ad-dressed
to Fort Commander Lt.
General J.B. Mackmull, President
Reagan, Secretary of State Haig
and Defense Secretary Wein-berger.
Mackmull aereed to meet the
marchers at their destination point
where, surrounded by press and
military, Atkins and Welsch
delivered the letter to Mackmull
and led the protestors in a moment
of silence in memory of the over
30,000 Salvadorans murdered in
the last 18 months.
After the return march to the
Spring Lake Municipal Building,
the marchers listened to
delegation members' words of
protest and plans for the future.
Rev. Atkins said that Americans
do not want our government to
train Salvadorans to kill
Salvadorans, and called for on-going
dissent. He announced Triad
Citizens Concerned for Central
America's plans for another larger
demonstration in Fayetteville on
January 27.
Carrie Graves charged the
Reagan Administration with
slashing budgets of U.S. domestic
programs while spending $18
million to train Salvadoran
soldiers to wage war against their
won people. Another speaker an-nounced
a similar demonstration
at Fort Benning, Ga. on Sunday,
Jan. 24.

Benning demonstration and the
Feb. 27 protest in Fayetteville, call

Day of Solidarity with the
People of El Salvador. Students

SCCA) is calling for a peaceful,
silent protest at 4 pm on Friday in

protesting U.S. intervention in El
Salvador.
SCCA leaders are appealing to
all Greensboro citizens and
students to picket the Federal
building at 324 W. Market St.
They suggest that individuals wear
black armbands all day Friday, and
carry signs at the demonstration
protesting U.S. military aid to the
junta in El Salvador and opposing
the training of Salvadoran troops
at Fort Bragg, N.C. and Fort
Benning, Ga. For more infor-mation
