Marchers recall past, hope for future
Event marks anniversary of tragic '79
Klan killings in Greensboro
BY T. KEVIN WALKER
THE CHRONICLE .
GREENSBORO - The past
is immortal, the Rev. Nelson
Johnson believes. It
lives on in minds,
hearts and in actions
even as the days,
months and years go
by. So Johnson does
n't like talk about
closing the book on
the past in order to
embrace the present
and the future.
"The past is in us,
so it is nonsense to
talk about forgetting it. We are
inheritors of the past." Johnson
said. "The question is whether
we choose to look at it fully or
just select pieces of it."
Johnson
On Saturday, Johnson and
nearly 1 .(MX) others reawakened
one of the most tragic days in
Greensboro's history as they
retraced some of the steps taken
by marchers 25 years
ago during an ill
fated demonstration
that ended in blood
shed.
"Johnson was there
on Nov. 3, 1979.
among a racially-inte
grated group of
dozens who gathered
at Morningside
Homes, a southeast
Greensboro public
housing community, to march
against racism and for labor
rights for poor textile workers.

family members have been left

The Dr. H.R. Malloy Estate
Fund was established in July,
after Dr. Malloy 's death in May
at age 90. and was created so that
the beloved doctor's house on
New Walkertown Road could be
transformed into some type of
community resource center.
According to the Winston
Salem Foundation, where the
fund was established, the fund
has not received donations
recently and is still carrying a
very low balance

Carver High
shows off
its new look
Multimillion dollar facelift took
more than two years
BYT. KEVIN WALKER
THE CHRONICLE ;
Dan Smith knows Carver High School well.
In the late 1960s, he taught at the school. He
would later become principal there. Long retired.
Smith came back to Carver Sunday as the school
held an open house and rededi
cation to show off its new mul
timillion dollar facelift. It did
not take Smith long to realize,
thai the Carver he once kntwais
no more.
"-Walking in here today kind
of confused me," he said. "I
think I could get lost here."
While school leaders say
Carver's spirit - an unbridled
Montague energy thai has successfully
educated young men and
women for 70 years - is still intact, physically Carv
er will never be the same again.
The school system spent more than two years
and nearly $7 million on the school's renovation.
The money came from a schools bond package
passed by county residents in 2001 . The most obvi
ous change at the school is its front entrance, w hich

A television commercial
touting the strengths of Good

Rodney Webb to leave his fam

he had ever known. He left
tiny Franklinton for Winston
Salem hoping thai Goodwill ?
would help him as the agency
has helped many others to gain
job skills and employment..
Webb knew the road would
be harder for him. It had been
that way his whole life. Webb
was born with cerebral palsy, a
condition that affects the
brain's motor skills. In his
case, it has limited the use of
one of his arms and his ability
to speak.
