Monday (April 28) more
than 40 people staged an
orderly demonstration outside
the Forsyth County Court
house. The demonstration was
led by Larry D. Little, a Black
Panther leader here.
^ The demonstration was in
support of Reginald Lampkins,
an 18. year-old black
youth, who was sentenced to
death in January 1974 after
being convicted of rape in
Forsyth Superior Court.
The North Carolina Supreme
Court upheld Lampkins'
conviction on March 12
of this year by a 4-3 margin.
Lampkins' attorney, Mrs.
A.B. Kennedy, is seeking a
new trial. The hearing on a
new trial was postponed until
later this weiek.
Mrs. Kennedy reportedly
asked for the postponement
after she learned that her
client would not be present at
the hearing. It was indicated
that she had expected
Lampkins to be brought here
by 11 a.m. Monday. Later that
afternoon after Mrs. Kennedy
and her witnesses had been
waiting outside of the .
courtroom for about two hours
word that Lampkins would not
be present came. Mrs.

order to take the necessary
precautions.
Sickel cell anemia is an
hereditary disease that is
passed 'on through the genes.
The red blood cells are shaped
?like a farmer's sickle. The
sickle-shaped T^tts -can not
float through the body easily;
therefore they cannot carry
oxygen to all the different
body organs. As a result, body
organs such as the brain,
kidneys, lungs, liver and
spleen deteriorate because
they don't get the oxygen they 7" _

sickle cell has a higher rate of
occurence than any other
hereditary blood disease.
There is no cure for sickle
cell.. A child born with the
disease will suffer and the
family's financies will be
difficult to maintain. Persons
with the trait live a - normal
life, but the disease is fatal.
Some people live beyond the
expected time, nevertheless,
it causes a lot of suffering.
