In, introducing the legislation, a few days after conclusion of the march, President, Lyndon B. Johnson cited it as demonstrating the need for Congressional action. The Act became law then the President signed the Bui in August, 1965. ' The march symbolized the determination of blacks to exercise their rights as citizens in the face of brutal opposition.

Most of the blacks in terviewed said that they had had little or no disscussion about Am bassador Young's resigna tion with Jews locally, and each indicated an uncer tainty as to what affect, if any, the resignation will have upon black-Jewish relations.. For many people, it was too sudden that . blacks began'; discussing the negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) until the PLO recognizes Israel's right to exist. It was around that question that Young either resigned or was forced to resign. Talks between blacks ahd Jews locally about the Palestinian question seem non-existent. But Durham Human Relations Director Joseph Betton, Jr. doesn't think Young's resignation wilt have much affect on Jewish-black relations. "I don't think Young's resignation will haye any real impact in Durham per se,"said Becton. "I see blacks and Jews com municating. That is one of the arts of real southern hospitality.'.' J.J.

She told an , interviewer for the September issue of Red book magazine that; she thought he was teasing. "I remember sitting at the dinner table one Sun-: uay," she recalled. "Daddy and my grand parents were there, and mother was in the kitchen. And Daddy said I don't know what led up to it, I don't know what happen- , ed afterward, but ' l; remember his saying teas-' ingly, with a little crease in the corner of his mouth that he didn't think he was going to live to be forty.? , -'Ms. King said that her father often teased his children and that he had pet names for all of them. "I was 'Yoki Poki' my family and friends still call me Yoki. My brother Martin was 'Marty Bop py'. . .and we had what he called our 'sugar spots,' a special place on the face for each of us where we could kiss him." After her father's death, Ms. King said she "protected f herself from the tragedy by pretending he was still alive, and that she still feels sometimes that he is watching over her. "Feeling that I can talk to him if I want to has made it easier!,'' she com mented. Ms. King told Redbook that one of the hardest things for her when she.

But throughout North Carolina clear statements to the world resounded that Afro-Americans are still fighting for Human Rights.: A few days later the International Associa tion of Democratic Lawyers, declared fin dings of hundreds of U.S. , human rights violations. Durham Russell Memorial C.M.E. Church featured a worship service which focused on the Wilmington Ten and Charlotte three cases as examples of human rights violations. Two Wilm ington Ten defendants Reginald Epps, and Be jamin Chavis, the chur ch's associate minister were present. In Charlotte, Human Rights Day took on a festive air in what was labeled "a victory celebra tion for the Charlotte Three held at Freedom Park's amphitheatre. That celebration focused on the parole from prison of T.J. Reddy . and Jim Grant, Charlotte Three defen dants. Their .. release was made possible by the re cent reduction of their sentences by Governor Jim Hunt. Dr. Otha Lakey, editor of the C.M.E. Christian Index, delivered tike Human Rights Day ser mon at Russell Memorial, rhetorically questioning if "God's laws are true to the life of nations and people as they were in the Babylonian captivity of the Jews." The Wilmington Ten were striving for equality in education, and for de cent jobs and housing, said Lakey, who believes that God has a devine way of retributing against un just rulers. Richard Nixon, he pointed out, had nearly completed a plan to deprive human rights throughout the U.S. But then a black man, discovered a piece of tape on a door at the Watergate Democratic Party head quarters. Discovery of the Watergate break-in, even tually led to the discrediting of Nixon and his entire administration, which Lakey said was an act Of God.
