Harris urges civil leaders not to march in Forsyth
Governor Joe Frank Harris asked Forsyth County civil rights leaders to pause protests while activists warned of escalating non violent action if demands are not met. The Coalition to End Fear and Intimidation pressed to drop charges against Rev. Hosea Williams and to create a biracial committee. Williams cited an FBI warning of a Ku Klux Klan plot against him, while Coretta Scott King said a decisive response from Harris was unlikely.
