“We must say that we will never go back,” urged state NAACP chief Rev. William Barber. “North Carolina must not take one step backward from the progress we’ve made in education, health care, civil rights and social justice.”
Barber laid out the 14-point agenda of Historic Thousands on Jones St., a coalition of progressive groups. “We demand educational equality, good jobs, workers rights and equal protection under the law,” he said, citing the redistricting fight in Wake County schools as an example of what he believes is at stake.The Hk On J March will be held on Feb 12th starting in front of Shaw University on Jones Street. Free and open to the public.
