Wilmington 10 aid divides Southern Conference meeting
At Catawba College delegates split over a resolution to bring the Wilmington 10 case to federal court. A six week notice requirement and a two thirds vote to suspend the rules failed, prompting a brief walkout by 25 to 30 protestors who later returned. The Wilmington 10, convicted in 1972 on firebombing and conspiracy amid 1971 Wilmington racial unrest, were linked to church leaders urging action. The conference budget totals 500000 for 1977 with 175000 for national agencies and 325000 for conference use. Smallwood, a World Council of Churches delegate, defended the body as Bible-centered. The meeting ends with Sunday worship.
