The Institute of Government neither
denied nor affirmed the group's conten
tion that Day was in the building.
The rally and the march attracted
relatively few police and those present
were directing traffic.
At the Institute of Government, Paul
told of harassment he had received as
attorney for the coalition.
"I'll go to jail if the others go to jail,
and my family will march when they
march," said Paul. Both his wife and
daughter were at the rally and the march.
"We're asking the Institute of
Government to teach law officers to save
lives not to take them," he said. "We ask
that Billy Day be dismissed from the
force and that more effective measures be
taken to insure that he and others like
him commit no more crimes against black
people."
Paul, a white lawyer, has been with the
group since the start of the Pitt County
disturbances in mid-August.
Both Frinks and Paul urged UNC
students to participate in the march
Friday in Ayden and to write Gov. Bob
Scott in support of the blacks in Pitt
County.
Although the rally and the march
consisted mainly of blacks, there were
some whites in the group. One of the
white students in the march asked Frinks
if whites were wanted in the protest.
"Let me put it this way," he said, "if I
sat down to play the piano and played
only the white keys, I would get nothing.
If I played the black keys by themselves,
1 would get nothing. But if I played them
together, I would get harmony, and that
is what we want."
Near the end of the rally, Frinks
revealed plans of the Pitt County group
to recruit marchers for Friday's protest in
Ayden. He said tables will be set up
outside the Student Union and UNC law
school so those interested in going may
be contacted and given rides.

not question a single black," he said. "We
