Durham To Blacks And Whites To Sts. Friday DURHAM - Come 9 a. m. Friday, Nov, 29, this tobacco town will witness another “first” in strained race rela tions when the Black Solidari ty Committee will form a pa rade at the Fayetteville Street Branch of the Mechanics & Farmers Bank, which has been dubbed the “Black Parade" and the Durham Merchants Asso ciation will form its "White Parade.” The Black Parade will follow the line to the Negro populace that lives across the railroad tracks. It will move along Fay etteville Street to Fowler Ave, back Into the new Fayetteville Street and continue to Durham Business College. This is re ported to be about, one mile, s The “White Parade” is ex pected to follow the traditional route, beginning at Sears-Roe buck's parking lot and continue through Main Street to Five Points. The Black Parade will not feature any bands, but according to Ben Ruffin, executive direc tor, United Organizations for Community Improvement, it will feature a bevy of beauti ful black women, who are ex pected to ride in cars. It was first announced that bands from Hillside and Whitted Schools would show their wares, along with the fast-stepping ma jorettes and members of the famed North Carolina College Marching Band. An announce merit, made Monday, revealed Jpthat neither of the bands would take part in either parade. The Black Parade is anoth er of the protest demonstra tions that have been going on here for 18 weeks. The purpose of the parade is to keep black people from going down town 4&nd even being tempted to go in to the stores that have been the object of the protest. It was reported that many of the Durham people brought their children to Raleigh Monday night to see the Raleigh parade. Scores of Durham pebple are seen in Raleigh stores daily. This is expected to continue un til after the Christmas holi days. There is also another aspect that is gaining in momentum There are those, especially members of the clergy, who are calling attention to the fact that Christ has been taken out of Christmas, and even though it is said to be the celebra tion that marks His advent, the trup spirit has been replaced by a selling spree and a sea son of merriment, instead of spiritual observance of the coming of the Christ.
