IN KING TRIBUTE
MAYOR
HOWARD
LEE SPEAKS
HERE
By Delores Norfleet
On April 4 Chapel Hill’s

blacks to get together in
order to develop a bet
ter image of themselves.

morial service on the se
cond anniversary of the
death of Dr. Martin Lu
ther King Jr. The pro
gram was held in theSea-
brook Auditorium.

Negro mayor of a major
city challenged the audi
ence to make a greater
effort to develop black
unity...“this is the key to
the struggle”, he said.
Although he was elected
by a white majority Lee
attributed part of his suc
cess to Dr. King.
Commenting on the
proposed appointment of
G. Harold Carswell to the
Supreme Court, Lee said
that it would be a grave
injustice to the court to
appoint a man of Car-
well’s character.
The mayor said that
people who preach black
separatism are only fol
lowing the ways of the
white man. He urged all
Americans to pledge
themselves to build a
new system.
In conclusion Mr. Lee
said that although King is
gone he has left us a
dream to build on.
