■ , I Torch Of Freedom Is Passed * A ;*■ • ' ■ *J \ ' ByAbuHassan Special To The Post The torch of freedom flickered in the South African sides when Samora Machel and hla com panions died. Some say, in vexa tion, his death was assassination; I say it doesn’t matter, he died a hero and a martyr to every nation of which brave, free men cherish freedom with hardship above ser vitude with ease. Yes, the torch of freedom flickered in the South African skies when Samora Machel and his companions died. And we lost our brother whose courage, and honor, was legend while he lived, but we have gained an indominable spirit whose light will continue to give guidance and courage to all who struggle for freedom. The torch of freedom flickered in the South African skies, but there was never any chance of it being extinguished, it was merely being passed to new hands, hands that will carry it to the ultimate victory over apartheid and oppression, in our time. : Crime Prevention Conference Comes To Winston-Salem naiHgh - Inner cities have a myriad of social and economic concerns which impact on day-to day living.
