Leon White, Executive Direc tor of the N. c.-Va. Commit tee for Racial Justice describ ed the historical even which took place on "Black Monday” as a “profile of courage” for the Rlack people of Vance Coun ty. “Black Monday,” Nov, 2,had been proclaimed by Black lea ders in Vance County after the Vance County Board of Educa tion refused to close the segre gated Nutbush School inspite of a long protest of Black parents. When negotiations broke down between Black community lea ders and the School Board, Rev. Leon White along with Mr. Ben Chavis issued an ultimatum to the Board of Education by a tel egram which read as follows: "Time has run out. Segre gated Nutbush School is stili open. Our student demands have noi been met; therefore, we pro claim Monday, November 2, as "Black Monday,” the day Black people will stand together in Vance County.” With strong support from stu dents and teachers at Kittrell College, Black protestors be gan to move slowly toward Hen derson to the Shiloh Baptist Church knowing that Hender son Police Chief W. F, Crock er had vowed to stop them at the city limits. When the march started, Hen derson became an armed camp. School and downtown business es were closed. All available outside police force in the area was summoned. Riot equipment could be seen everywhere. Word came over the radio that pro testors would be stopped at the city limits, but the protestors continued to march to Shiloh.

A look at the activities ai the above named polls reveal ed that potential voters were handed a slip of paper, on which was the nam, -of the per sons for whom they were to vote. It was also obvious that many of the voters would ask "where is the paper.” Political leaders in both Raleigh and Durham have used this process to deliver the black vote to the candidates of their choice. In most Instances their choices have been Demo crats. In the congressional race, Galifianakis was accused by Hawke of being a big spendor and receiving money from spe cial interests. The 4th District congressman was also alleged to have campaigned on the fact that he was not against bus ing, but would fight to the last ditch to see that it was not used to correct the racial im balance in the schools of North Carolina. Hawke, the Republican con tender, handled the busing mat ter in a more dignified way, by saying that he was a Republic an and would therefore back the Republican policy on the situation. Hawke was accused of being inexperienced and also had to run with Vice-president Agnew’s disfavor with Negroes. The matter of black candi dates on both party tickets was the main topic around the vot ing places in Raleigh and Dur ham. In Raleigh many observ ers wondered why there were no blacks on either party’s slate. It was pointed out that the format of Wake County poli tics is made up to the extent that no blacks ever are of fered beyond the city level. (See P Z) Bimks In Nash Get $40,900 BY J. B.
