of funding was the fact that the students
called the newspapers and people
mailed in contributions,” Klein said.
The leftover money from the surgery
will be used to pay for follow-up care,
because Francisco has to travel to
Nashville every five weeks, Klein said.
And as Francisco’s journey nears an
end, he remains an inspiration to others
in a similar situation, Wang said.

due to the convenience of online voting.
He said students usually apathetic
toward the election will now be a stronger
factor. “They’re going to have to be more
attentive to the whole student body.”
Annie Peirce, a junior who also is
preparing her student body president
campaign, said Woods’ pulling out of
the race will not have a major effect.
“He offered one more perspective,”
Peirce said. “There’s certainly a lot of
people in this race. Students will still
have a variety of choices."

“Dr. Wang’s staff is able to talk about
(Francisco’s operation) and reassure oth
ers coming in for surgery,” Klein said.
But Francisco himself is reaping the
benefits of his surgery as well because
he is able to see his friends and family.
“It’s exciting because I never imag
ined how people looked,” Francisco said.
Klein said Francisco was thrilled by
his new view of the world. “Everything
he sees that he’s never seen before is
another gift.”

MARCH

The diverse crowd applauded and
yelled “Amen,” and “Tell it!” when
speakers spoke about minority educa
tion, campaign finance, raising the min
imum wage, the death penalty, police
brutality and the redistribution of
wealth.
The crowd’s excitement heightened
when A1 McSurely, president of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro chapter of the
NAACP, took the
stage. McSurely
spoke about what
he called a lack of
cultural diversity
and uneven wealth
distribution in
Chapel Hill.
“As the joke
goes,” McSurely
said, “the diversity
in Chapel Hill is in

the different color SUVs.”
McSurely also said he hoped the rally
would organize members of the crowd
and encourage them to join associations
like the NAACP.
“I know there are hundreds of people
in this area who share the goals of Dr.
King and the NAACP,” McSurely said.
“I hope people will join the NAACP or
other organizations to dismantle racist
groups.”
Marchers said the best part of the
rally was how many different groups of
people attended the event.

turnout,” said Amy Gamer, a member
of the Faith Tabernacle Choir.
“More and more people are here to
support King’s vision every year, and
the crowd is really diverse.”
Pam Sharp, whose parents had the
first licensed interracial marriage in
Orange County, said she was thrilled at
the number of people involved in the
rally honoring King.
“It is great to give back to a person
who gave so much,” Sharp said.
Carrboro Alderman Joal Broun, who
also is vice president of the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro chapter
of the NAACP,
said the rally and
march were com
munitywide events
in which anyone
could take part.
Broun also said
the message of the
day’s events was to
“remember our
past, examine our
present and believe in our future.”
While the rally celebrated society’s
movement toward King’s vision, Ruby
Sinreich, a member of the Martin
Luther King Coalition, stressed that it is
still important to work to remedy racial
inequalities.
“This year it is important to remem
ber the sacrifice Dr. King made,”
Sinreich said.
“We have to remember what he had
to say and how far we still have to go.”

race relations and how King would feel
about the present status of inequalities.
Stone praised the progress, noting the
increased number of minorities and
women in high positions.
But he said the recent presidential
election was a small step back in
improving race relations. The allega
tions of unjust voter practices, the return
to conservatism and the appointment of
conservative Republican John Ashcroft
to President-elect George W. Bush’s
Cabinet are all concerns for Stone. He
felt these aspects might be threats to
King’s vision of racial equality.

Sophomore Lawrence Braithwaite
said she thought Stone’s close relation
ship with King offered fresh insights on
King’s life.
“I came to hear about Dr. King from
a personal perspective,” she said.
“(Stone) had personal anecdotes that
can’t be offered from the press.”
Braithwaite said Stone id a good job
commemorating King’s accomplish
ments and providing a personal account
of his life. “I think it was a good speech,
and he did a great job of answering per
sonal questions that even the most well
read people couldn’t answer.”
