King, Jackson lead activists
in repeat of ’65 march, rally
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A new
generation of civil rights activists, led by Cor
etta Scott King, Jesse fackson and others, mar
ched in triumph Thursday to the Alabama
Capitol where, 20 years ago. another congrega
tion gathered following another march to de
mand voting rights for blacks.
Unlike the 1965 march, when police attack
ed and arrested pilgrims on the road from
Selma to Montgomery. Thursday's march and
gathering were peaceful.
King, the widow of the Rev. Martin Luther
King. Jr., praised young people for attending
the rally. “We’ve learned that freedom is not
really free. We have to fight to maintain our
freedom and it has to be won in every genera
tion.” she said.
The Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the
a*
Southern Christian Leadership Conference
that King founded, stood on the Capitol steps
and told the anniversary crowd that two
decades have not erased racism in America.
“They've got new devices now. Martin,’’
Lowery said, addressing the slain civil rights
leader. "They've got new devices to deny us
our rights.”
Lowery targeted President Ronald Reagan’s
policies, and called for a nationwide move
ment to prevent “a California cowboy from
turning the clock back on racial justice.”
Jackson told the crowd that the focus of the
civil rights movement has shifted to
economics with poverty striking whites as
well as blacks.
Pro-lifer Scheidler
didn’t justify attacks
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press erroneously
reported Thursday that Joseph Scheidler, director of the Pro-Life
Action League, told a congressional subcommittee that abortion
clinic bombings are justified. Scheidler’s remarks were printed in
Thursday’s Oregon Daily Emerald.
Scheidler did not say such bombings are justified. He testified
at a House judiciary subcommittee hearing on abortion clinic at
tacks Wednesday: “The Pro-Life Action League and others refuse
to condemn (destruction of abortion facilities) because we refuse to
cast the abortionists in the role of the victim when they are in fact
victimizers.
“No one has been killed in the attacks on abortion facilities,
but thousands of human lives are destroyed inside these buildings
every day,” he said.
“Those who place greater value on human life than on real estate
will condemn the destruction of brick and mortar when the abor
tionists condemn the destruction of our little brothers and sisters.”
