Show King Makes 'Model City' GRENADA, MISS. (UPI) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., vowing vow-ing to make "a model city" out of Grenada, led Negro students to integrated schools where white mobs beat Negro children last week. The two schools in question were tightly guarded by state troopers who said "nobody but students and parents" would be allowed on the grounds. About 130 Negroes attended the schools without incident Monday. Mon-day. King arrived in Grenada last Monday and held a rally of 1,000 Negroes Monday night saying the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) would remain re-main "until Grenada comes to terms with its conscience. "We plan to go all out to make Grenada a model city," he said. King said at the rally they were "superior" to the whites who beat children and newsmen at the opening of school Sept. 12, when at least 33 persons were injured. |
