Jackson Lee Churches threatened ALowery :Bombing symbolic turmoil By JOHN HINTON Chronicle Scnifir Stall Writer The Durham Branch of the NAACP recently received a telephone call from a white man who threatened to fire bomb three African-American churches there on Sunday May 26, because, he said, he hated black people. No black churches in Durham were attacked on Sunday.

Chapter officials reported the incident to Durham police, the FBI. and the federal Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco, and Firearms in Charlotte, and the N.C. NAACP in Greensboro. Black churches took the threat seriously. Bumper said. "The majority of these churches are conduct ing business as usual, hut they are taking precau tions." she said. "They are not going to let any one run them out of their churches." An ATF agent was scheduled to speak with Durham's black ministers and congregations at an NAACP event in Durham last week, regarding precautions for dealing with the threat. Dr. Joseph Lowery. president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, called on the FBI to bring try justice the people-responsible for Fires and bombings at 57 black and interracial churches in 15 states since January 1990.
