Jackson said Sanford, the

the Democratic primary, was
silent on the issue of apartheid

Sanford has also been silent
on the enforcement of the
voting rights law in North

Local black leaders are participating
in a statewide program
to collect 25,000 signatures on
petitions urging the N.C. General
Assembly to create a paid state
holiday for the late Martin
Luther i(ing Jr.
A 13-member committee is circulating
petitions throughout the
city, said Larry W. Womble,
Southeast Ward alderman. "We
are going to push this thing very

Kinney is the only black.
While East Ward Alderman
Virginia K. Newell introduced
Jackson as a 1988 presidential
candidate, Jackson said in a
news conference after his
speech that the announcement
was premature. He is trying
right now to organise his
"Rainbqw Coalition" for the
1986 elections, he said.
Toward that end, Jackson
urged the students to "vote
where you live."
He asked students to stand
if they were not registered to
vote in Forsyth County.
About half of them stood.

After his speech, Jackson
led about 400 students to the
lobby, but only 75 of them
registered to vote because
registration forms ran out.
North Carolina still does
not have a black senator or

students. "You ought to be

The letter reads, "A group of
