of the Raleigh police department
went over plans with Frinks
and Fitch concerning the march
through town to the legislature
building.
The group left the auditorium
shortly after 1 o’clock and head
ed through town for the legis
lature building. Upon ariving at
the building at approximately
1:30, the marchers were in
formed that they could not go
on the grounds because that was
state property but they could
remain on the sidewalks be
cause it was city property
While marchers divided to
disperse themselves along the
sidewalks and at the same time
get out of the street, Fitch along
with 11 members of the aggre
gation went inside to confer with
