This evil oi war is just as vis

chines This is 10 times more
than it would cost to grant the
wage increase being asked by
the hospital workers, he said

Carolina is waging an unjust
war against poor people just as
the United States is waging an
unjust war against the Viet

In Rev Abernathy s words
"There is an idea in Charleston
today, an idea that poor people
must rise up against their op
pressors. an idea whose time
has come There is an idea that
people will assert and win their
birthright to manhuxl and con
trol of their own destinies, an
idea whose time has come "
