Oxford Are Coming BY MTT.TON JORDAN Staff Writer OX FORD-Feelings of mistrust and uneasiness are the predominant emotions here in the wake of nearly two weeks of disturbances. During the lull of a strained calm, many of Oxford’s Negroes are planning a Saturday “March Against Death” on the state capitol to protest the judicial sys tem in this county seat of Granville County. The marchers will arrive in Raleigh Sunday at 3 p.m. ac cording to a spokesman at a meeting Tuesday afternoon in a local church, those taking part in the march and the following protest will be mostly the poor people of Oxford, who suffer the brunt of the town’s injustice. He also indicated that there is a decided divisiveness among the Blacks in Oxford, with the line of division being drawn more or less between the haves and the have-nots. The State Good Neighbor Council and the Oxford Human Relations Council also came in for criticism. These two groups are charged with being re sponsible for dividing the com munity by attempting to placate the situation without addressing themselves to the grievances of the people. "I would like to point out that the Good Neighbor Council and the Human Relations Council do not represent the concensus of the people, especially the poor people in Oxford,” the spokes man .said. Saturday’s march, originally planned for Friday, is being cal led “A March Against Death," The stated purpose of the march Is to present Governor Scott, or someone In authority at the capitol with a list of griev ances drown up by the aroused (See CITIZENS OF, S*. 2) Organize, I.
