After all McKissick was convicted in War-renton District Court only a few years ago for impeding traffic while protesting a proposed PCB landfill Job is to be impartial and I will be impartial" said McKissick 68 who donned judicial robes Friday for his first full day on the bench as a district court Judge probably wont be demonstrating too much in the future though It wouldn't be appropriate as a judge" Gov Jim Martin appointed McKissick last week to a newly created Judgeship in the district that includes Warren Vance Franklin Granville and Person counties course as a civil rights advocate was set early As a teenage Boy Scout in his hometown of Asheville he was cuffed by a white motorcycle cop because he dared to direct traffic around an all-black rollerskating race that his troop was sponsoring "He said didn't you hear what I told you? Get your blade ass out of here' McKissick recalled in a recent interview with the Greensboro News A Record in his Oxford law office eyes smolder ing at the 55-yearold insult The Buncombe County

developed by blacks aimed at stem-1 South-i to the Northeast involvement in business ventures He Joined the Republican Party and became a supporter of then-President Richard Nixon McKissick said his change to the Republican Party stemmed from a belief that it was foolish for blade leaders to put all their eggs in the Democratic basket But the switch also was partially a pragmatic decision to help Soul City he says today "If I wanted to secure funds all the people who could help were in the Republican he said ther King Jr and other elite members of foe dvil rights movement Jesse Jackson credits McKissick with inspiring him to get involved in what would become his work In 1969 he wrote foe book 35 of a Man a manifesto that warned white America to start sharing power with minorities or face a violent revolution The book cast the late Che Guevara and other Cuban revolutionaries in a favorable light Suddenly McKissick changed course He began advocating black results It went bankrupt after
