On Thursday, a different slate
of issue forums continued.
Thursday also saw the beginning
of legislative hearings scheduled
to coincide with the conference.
Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.,
chaired a hearing on Alabama's
controversial voter-fraud cases
against a mostly black group of
voter registrars. Albert Turner,
. known as one of the Marion
Three and found not guilty of
voter fraud, testified during the
hearing. Turner, Evelyn Turner
and Spencer Hogue Jr., all of
whom are black, were charged on
numerous counts of changing the
absentee ballots of elderly black
voters in Perry County. In the
first trial, a jury with one black
member was hung. In the second
trial, the three were found not
guilty.
Although the Marion Three is
free, the trial of Spivcr Gordon
and Frederick Daniels, charged
also with absentee-ballot fraud,
started last week ip Tuscaloosa,
Ala. An all-white jury was seated
for that trial.
The actions of the Justice
Department in the Perry County
case and in other "black belt"
counties in the South are racist.
said Conyers.
"The Justice Department's investigation
in this matter* occurring
during the primary and
general election last year, had the
effect of intimidating black
voters, especially elderly voters
who have fought so long to obtain
the right to vote," said Conyers.
"Instead of going after the
real violators of the Voting
Rights Act in Alabama, the
Justice Department has totally
_lurned the tables around and is
now going after black leaders
with an undisguised vengeance."
Topics for other legislative
hearings included "Small and
Minority Business Involvement in
Military Construction," "A Im

Black Family** and "The Melting

experts from specific fields, continued
on Friday, concluding the
c ?
tonicrcncc s ousiness session.
Before the weekend's social activities
started, conference participants
staged a protest march
against apartheid in front of the
South African Embassy.
Although Hurricane Gloria's
remnants made traveling in
Washington without rain gear
impossible, the protest march
was not cancelled.
At precisely 12:30 p.m., as if
by some divine miracle, the rain
stopped. The winds subsided.
The sun broke through the
clouds. The march went on as
planned.
Hundreds of demonstrators
walked where thousands before
have marched since last
Thanksgiving protesting apartheid
in South Africa and calling
for the United States to impose
strong economic sanctions
against the racist government
there.
The anti-apartheid bill was
sponsored by Rep. William Gray,
one of the 20 Congressional
Black Caucus members. That bill
later prodded President Reagan
to impose limited economic sanctions
against South Africa.
