He commented, 4'no, how can black people celebrate when we continue to be victims of racism. We can't celebrate independence until we are a free people."

The basic conclusion that can be drawn from these comments is that people disagree on whether or not there is reason for a celebration all feel that there are still many things that need to be done for the bicentennial celebration to be a joyous one for all.

He said he is puzzled by the fact that no money was taken. "Maybe the person got scared after he did the shooting and ran," he stated. He added that he is considering offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the assailant. Miss Clemons described the gunman as a black male about 35 years old, five feet, five inches tall, 150 pounds with a mustache and wearing a brown-and-yellow flowered _ shirt and brown pants.
