RALEIGH (CCNS) - De
monstrators calling for a par
don of innocence for Rev. Ben
Chavis and the Wilmington 10
delayed for nearly forty-five
minutes the traditional azalea
planting ceremony Friday,
March 25, on the capitol lawn,
just by their presence. The
event was scheduled for 11:30,
with the principals Governor
James Hunt and Azalea Prin
cess Leigh Hobbs. The demon
strators picket permit expired
at 12 noon and ten minutes
later the event started.
The demonstrators were

members of the Raleigh Alii-
ance Again si Rati

the demonstration was the
second potentially em-
barrassing event relating to
the Wilmington case to
Governor Hunt this month.
The first was a concert per
formance of the North Caro
lina Symphony Orchestra in
Carnegie Hall in New York
City that was picketed by
the New York Alliance Against
Racist and Political Repression.

Both Hunt and Azalea
Princess Leigh Hobbs appeared
a little shaken by the event.
Hunt had little to say and the
Azalea Princess had nothing to
say, except in the hallway of
the Capitol outside Hunt's
office, she asked a reporter
before the demonstration
was over, "Are they gone yet?"
State-wide Alliance Coor
dinator Anne Mitchell said
after the ceremony that the
demonstration at Hunt's
appearances would increase.
She announced that the North
Carolina Alliance would de

val for which the planting

ceremony sougnt puoucity.
The festival is planned for
April 14-17.
Chairperson of the festi
val Elizabeth Hickmon, when
questioned if a demonstration
would keep away potential
tourist to the event said,
"pickets and demonstrators
won't affect the committee un
less there is violence."
A similar demonstration
was announced prior to the
1971 Azalea Festival by
Golden Frinks, National
Coordinator of the Southern
Christian Leadership Con
ference (SCLC). Frinks, then
organizing in Wilmington,
threatened to turn loose 100
white chickens on the streets
of Wilmington during the
festival. The conflict was

The Azalea Festival ironi
cally is held in Wilmington. It
was there that segregationists
tried to end struggles of
black youth who attempted
to get equality in the newly
integrated school systems.
Following struggles in
Henderson, Warrenton, Green
ville and many other N. C.
cities for equality in integrated
schools, a major eruption
occured in Wilmington. A stu
dent initiated boycott of
schools was called after

to declare a holiday for the
birthday ' of slain civil rights
leader. Dr. Martin Luther King.
Parity of black cheer leaders
and black participation in
school events were other
issues raised.
