night Sunday, May z, in an effort
to save the life of Willie MCGEE,

ment to the GUARDIAN: 1--WE
are calling upon all the freedom
loving people of the Boston

hour attempt to save the life OF

strate clearly that MCGEE is the
victim Of a vicious frame-up by
the forces, that seek through
terrorization, to maintain the
pattern of segregation and dis
elimination in the nation. Our
community must speak out loud
ly against this proposed legal
crime"
