There artl many homeA In this atate that are eold when the night Is cold. They are 8Mekll, the l'l!f!Uit of affhalc eeonomle and political IMlitutlona. We hope to ~uect a ebange in lh- outdAted and Inhumane conditione.

But lbere ill one eold. <lark cell which put.kula.rly atanda • out in our mind.t. That II the c:ell of Clyde Kennard. Thi3 ia the home of a man who Ht out to do what Jamea Meredith eventually a~eeded In doing.
