Gregory Begins
Anti-Drug Fight
With Fasting
SHREVEPORT, La. (AP)-Ac
tivist Dick Gregory on Friday said
Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther
King, III, entertainer Ben Vereen and
the Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of
the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, will visit here next week
to help his antidrug crusade.
At a news conference, Gregory said
heavyweight boxing champion Mike
Tyson may also visit next week. If
Tyson cannot break away from train
ing for his next fight, he will send a
videotape message of support,
Gregory said.
The celebrities planned to join
Gregory July 2-4 to celebrate the
declaration of A.B. Palmer Park in
Cedar Grove as the first drug-free
park in the nation, according to Ida
Lewis, Gregory’s spokesman.
Gregory said he hopes that the out
come of his efforts to rid the city of
drugs will encourage Congress to
pass legislation designating drug-free
zones in the nation’s parks, schools
and churches.
Gregory has been fasting for 23
days to call attention to the nation's
drug problem. And he has been spen
ding hours at A.B. Palmer Park each
day and night to attract media atten
tion and discourage drug activity. Ci
ty leaders have praised his efforts
and say the rampant drug traffic that
once plagued the area appears to
have been reduced.
The area around the park was the
scene of two nights of racial violence
last September when, according to
authorities, a drug deal soured and an
uninvolved black bystander was kill
ed by a bullet fired by a young white
woman.
Gregory said he wants to see
federal legislation severely penaliz
ing drug dealers who sell drugs to
children.
Gregory has talked to Con
gressman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.,
about the legislation and expects him
to visit Shreveport at a later date.
“If we have a congressman come
here, he will go back to Washington
and work on a bill,” said Gregory.
He said he also has received a
telephone call from entertainer
Michael Jackson in support of his ef
forts.

Ms. Rosa Parks
Says Straggle
Is “Unfinished’'
NEW YORK (AP) The black
woman who refused in 1955 to give up
her seat to a white on a bus in
Montgomery, Ala., Rosa Parks, told
civil rights activists they should not
consider the struggle finished, said
the New York Post.
“We need to never forget what
happened but never give up because
it did happen, but keep on moving,"
Mrs. Parks said last Sunday.
She addressed about 100
participants at a reunion of people
who registered thousands of black
voters In the summer of 1964, the Post
said.
The small, gray-haired woman, 76,
said the poor and homeless still need
the kind of dedication that the civil
rights movement enjoyed.
Mrs. Parks spoke of the secret
meetings and bomb threats during
the fight for equal treatment for all.
“We had to go every day, day by
day, not knowing what would
happen,” Mrs. Parks said.
“As I went through my young
womenhood, I felt very alone and lost
and at time, felt there was no hope,”
Mrs. Parks said.
“I had no idea that I would be the
one arrested and that they would use
my arrest as the catalyst for the
movement,” she added.
Mrs. Parks lives in Detroit and
chairs an education program for the
underprivileged.
