North Carolina Council Of Churches*.
Joins Move To Free Wilmington 10
By Jacquie Levis ter
Poet Staff Writer
The continually ascending
chant for freedom for tlx
Wilmington 10 has been joinec
by another voice, the Nortl
Carolina CouqcU of Churches
Sydnor Thompson, Count;
Chairman of the Democratii
Party and a delegate to th
council from United Methodis
Church released to the POST i
resolution liie «Jounctl approv
ed by a vote of 39 to 7 with 4
abstaining.
The resolution in part reads
“For the past ffve years nine
young men and one white
woman have been struggling
to prove their innocence and
' gain their freedom after being
charged, tried and convicted
t for arson and conspiracy to
t assault emergency personnel
i during the tragic events in the
winter of 1971 ensuing from
the integration of blacks and
whites in the public schools of
JVilmingtor., North Carolina.
Since the arrest and convic
tion of the Wilmington Ten is
1972, a trickle of nagging
doubts and persistent un
answered questions has risen
to a growing conviction that
an injustice had been done in
regard to the Wilmington 10.
Facts brought out by the
Federal Grand Jury and at the
Post Conviction Hearing coo
ducted by the State of North
Carolina in Burgaw in the
spring of 1977 bear out this
conviction.
Aside from questions of the
fairness of the trial and issues
related to witnesses and testi
mony, we believe that the
length of sentences imposed
upon the Wilmington 10 is
unduly harsh in relation to the
charges and the attendent
circumstances."
The Resolution continued by
stating, “The House of Dele
gates of the North Carolina
Council of Churches, there
fore, urges the Governor of
North Carolina, The Honor
able James B. Hunt, Jprj to
exercise the clemenency pow
ers of his office, by granting
immediate and unconditional
release for those persons
known as the Wilmington 10
now incarcerated in the North
Carolina prison system."
