Where In The World But
In Georgia By Albert Richard Sampson
These aren’t the words of a prophet, a sage, a philosopher,
nor an intellectual genius or an untimely assassinator, THEY

a dream but the burning passion of 23 Americans among others
whose destiny is freedom and whose purpose is justice.
They are pilgrims on a pilgrimage to traverse 3,500 miles
to Cuba calling themselves the QUEBEC-WASHINGTON-GUAN
TANOMO WALK FOR PEACE. This is sponsored by the Committee
for Nonviolent Action; the UjS. pacifist organization which spon
sored a previous peace walk from San Francisco to Moscow,
at the conclusion of which a vigil was held in Red Square. Some
of them began this Walk in Quebec on May 26; others started
in Boston, Mass,, and in Cleveland, Ohio; the three branches of
the Walk merged at Rome, N.Y. on July 3.
Their contention is that U.S.
policy over the years has
harmed the Cuban people and
caused great resentment
towards the UJS. It is another
truth, of course, that hostile
statements and Soviet troops
and missiles have caused great
resentment in the United States
toward Cuba. Consequently,
they urge the Cuban and U.S.

route from Macon through Fort
