Many speakers made appeals to their au

other American minorities
About 400 persons gathered for an even

need to fight white racism and to remember
King's struggle for equality for Blacks.

have done all year," chairperson Mark
Canady said after the program. Smith
Turner takes a lot of credit for organizing
the program, he added.
Turner contacted the organizations that
participated in the program and designed
the program. '1 think it went pretty well. I
was extremely pleased," he said.
Student Body President Bob Saunders
said the program was excellent but
wondered how many whites attended and
wished more fell welcomed to attend.
About 15 whites attended the service.
“What we have here today is a reaffirma
tion of his ideas,” Canady said during the
program. "We do have his ideas which are
our ideas."
Saunders said, "I )ust hope next year it
(King's birthday) is a national holiday."
Saunders said King is a hero and that "his
work not yet has been completed." He

cluding Greensboro, N.C., which have ex-
perenred racial strife in recent months.
