There are some good people over
here."
Among the demonstrators
were Lee Faye Mack, a community
activist and Winston-Salem
Urban League employee, East
Ward Alderman Virginia K.
Newell, North Ward Alderman
Patrick T. Hairston, his
predecessor as alderman, Larry
D. Little, and Stuart Epperson, a
Republican congressional candidate
in the 5th District.
Other participants included City
Manager Bill A. Stuart, Assistant
City Manager Alexander R.
Beaty and Assistant Police Chief
M.A. Robertson.
"These people know we are
giving them the chance to say no
to drugs," Mrs. Mack said.
'There has to be a better way
because drugs are destroying
their lives. Some people over here
are zombies. We are concerned
about them and we love them."
Mrs. Newell said the human
chain was the beginning of a
community effort to rid Happy
Hill Gardens of drugs.
"People in this community are
terrorized by drugs," she said,
adding that drug abuse is a problem
throughout Winston-Salem.
"We are saying to the drug
pushers that we will not tolerate
you in this community any
longer.'* , .

"We hope we are sending a
message to the young people in
this community," said a black
woman who participated in the
human chain. "If one person
decides not to use drugs, then this
demonstration would have been a
success.''
Two residents said the
demonstration would only curtail
drug deals for a short time.
"The demonstration will help a
little bit, but we need police pro- .
* tection over here 24 hours a
. day," said Ricky D. Coston, who
' lives on Powell Street. "If the
police walk a beat, the dealers
will still sell their drugs."
Roy B. Jones, who lives on
Free Street, said many people sell
drugs to make a living.
"People sell drugs to feed their
families," Jones said. ?If they
didn't sell drugs, then they would
not eat. It is fast money for them,
and they are willing to take the
risk."
Hairston disputed Jones'

Its effects on bla
By CHERYL WILLIAMS
Chronicle Staff Writer
The Constitution is a document
that most Americans hold
dear. But it is also a document
whose language indicates that it
was not meant for all Americans.
"Those Left Out: Blacks,
Women and the Struggle for
Constitutional Equality" will address
this issue at a program to be
/ held at the Forsyth County
Public Library at 7:30 p.m.
tonight.
The program is one in a series
. sponsored by the library to commemorate
the bicentennial of the
. Constitution.
James A. Beaty Jr., special
superior court judge, and Dr. Katy
J. Harriger, assistant professor
of politics at Wake Forest
University, will be the featured
speakers. They will address how
blacks and women have been left
out of the Constitution and ways
the two have tried to make
amends for the wrong done.
"Blacks and women make up
well over 60 percent of the
American population,'* said Barbara
Anderson, a reference
librarian and one of the
organizers of the series. *i don't
see how anyone can ignore the

dependent on drugs. "Drugs are
a new form of slavery," he said.
The most controversial protester
was Epperson, who is
challenging incumbent Democrat
Stephen L. Neal for his seat in
Congress.
Epperson, who is white, received
praise and criticism from nrn
testers and bystanders for his participation
in the demonstration.
"The people here have to rise
up and let drug pushers know
that they are not going to accept
cwhat they are doing," said Epperson,
who in July announced
the creation of a drug abuse task
force on the same corner. "The
people will have to get rid of
drugs in this community."
"I am glad to ^ee him over _

brave man, and we need more

"Something that distinguishes
these two groups is that they
shaped the Constitution," she
said. "They didn't just let the
Constitution act on them, they
made changes."
Mrs. Anderson said that the
program will feature a panel
discussion with audience participation.

"in a sense tne audience participation
will be the-heart of the
program," she said.''Everyone
who conies in will come in with
some ideas and notions. And if
they leave with more than they
came in with, then we would have
made a special evening.'*
Ms. Harriger said that her
speech will focus on women,
while Beaty's will focus on
blacks.
Her speech will deal with the
fact that, in order to make the
argument that women and blacks
should be included in the consitution,
it was not enough to change'
political thought but social
tnougnt as well, she said.
Ms. Harriger said that in her
speech she will draw similarities
between the women's suffrage
movement and the civil rights
movement.

"He is dping it for the wrong
reason because he only wants the

drug problem has been over here
for a long time. Why did he just
come over here now with all this
stuff? Where is he going to be

If elected, Epperson should go

said. -He will never get the

Epperson defended his role in
the demonstration, saying he is
genuinely concerned about the
drug problem4n-the black-com- munity.
"I am more concerned with
getting drugs out of this community
than getting votes out of
this neighborhood," Epperson
said.
Mrs. Newell, a Democrat, said
Epperson's task force didn't start
the community effort to rid Happy
Hill Gardens of drugs. "I
started working in this community
six years ago to fight the drue
problem here," she said. "Stu
Epperson has not done

CAPE TOWN, South Africa Anglican
Archbishop Desmond
Tutu has invited parishioners in
black townships to use the extensive
grounds around his home in
a white area for picnics.
Tutu, installed last month as
the first black head of the
Anglican church in southern
Africa, lives in a white area
because that is where the archbishop's
residence is located,
He does not need a permit, as
most blacks do, to live in a white
area.
Tutu said in opening a synod
of the diocese that townshin
residents who couldn't q^sily get
into the countryside should use
the grounds at Bishop's Court for
picnics and outings.
He also said township children
would be given swimming lessons
at the swimming pool at his
residence.
Tutu criticized the government's
actions this week, which
included banning foreign funding
