However, he added, "Where a local registrar continues to discriminate against a person because of race, the law should be enforced as writ ten," Boggs pointed out that only three or four of Louisiana's 64 parishes have had Federal registrars sent in. When asked about the problem raised by the addition of illiterates to the voting rolls, Boggs replied that this was another problem that Louisiana was now attacking.

The stillness of a foggy, rainy morning was broken by explosions at the large, modern homes of the four Negro civil rights leaders. They and their families escaped injury although damage was extensive. Windows were blown out and the front doors shattered at the newly elected city councilman, and his brother, Kelly Alexander, state NAACP president.

A long line of students and their dates filed out of the new building and past the bus.

Only a group of young teenagers remained stationary. They huddled together out of the rain. Their noses pressed against the glass of one of the doors leading into Woollen Gym, and excited pairs of eyes searched for a peek at their idols. Two students walked past the shrieking group. "There's no chance," one of them said.

"Sure there is," his friend answered. "You've got nothing to lose. Tell 'em you're from the Tar Heel." The student took a breath and plowed through the young girls. He grabbed an old and crumpled sheet of paper and broke through the door. Then he crept into the nearest locker room.

A small group of people gathered around the entrance to Woollen's training room, and the student hurried toward them. "Barry Gordy must be making quite a pile," one member of the group commented.
