Blistering
Address
In me of the most Blistering
speeches ever delivered at a
“Freedom Day Celebration”
sponsored bv the State Confer
ence ot NAACP Branches,
Charles Evers, brother of Med
eax Evers, slain Mississippi
civil rights leader, to a cheer
ing crowd in Raleigh’s Memor
ial Auditorium Sunday afternoon
to tell “white folks, we are
tired "
The speaker pulled no punch
es as he related the Injustices
and the insuits that the Negro
has suffered at the hands of
white America and served no
tice that he “would rather be
dead and in hell three times
than to have to continue to en
dure the hardships that the white
man has heaped upon him.*’
He lashed out at the white
power structure for saying that
the Negro is the cause of the
unrest that it is prevalent
throughout the land. “The white
man has been wrong so long
until he thinks he is right and
anyone who stands up to him and
gives him the dose of the medi
cine he has been prescribing
for the Negro Is called a trou
ble maker," he said.
“No, the Negro is not re
sponsible for the riots and loot
ing and I want it definitely un
derstood that we do not believe
in violence and even if we are
shot down in Mississippi, mur
dered in Memphis. And even
though white Mississippi draft
boards are sending Negro boys
to Vietnam, in the name of
democracy, to be slaughtered
for what - nobody knows, we
are going to stick to nonvio
lence, However, we are not to
be responsible for what hot
headed Negroes do, no more
than the white power structure
wants to be held responsible for
the lawlessness perpetrated
upon a defenseless loyal min
ority,” he said.
The program was a mernor

tin Luther King. Kelly Alex

nouncement, wanted It definite
