Dr. King
By Sharyn Bratcher
Staff Writer
Two WSSU-sponsored
services commemorated
the tenth anniversary of
the death of Dr. Martin
Luther King, but attendance
was sparse at both
events.
Beginning at 10:30
Tuesday morning a group
of students marched from
the campus to the Hall of
Justice downtown, where
they listened to speeches
from various community
leaders about Dr. King
and the work he left
behind him.
Alderman Larry Little
and Rev. Raeford Thompson

Patrick Hairston, president
of the NAACP, called
the building "The Hall of
Ignorance," and reminded
the audience of the
freedoms Dr. King fought
for.
Mrs. Lee Faye Mack
pointed out that Hairston
was the only member of
Winston-Salem's Human
Relations Commission to
attend the ceremony. She
criticized the members for
supposedly being dedicated
to King's cause, yet
forgetting the man who
began it.
After about forty-five
minutes, the small crowd
