HYP Will Protest Concert Violence

Young Progressives will stage a mock the entitled "The People vs. Peekskill" featuring speeches by eyewitnesses and performers as well as records of the riot--at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Kirkland Junior Common Room.

The trial, a "protest" against violence at Paul Robeson's August Peekskill concert, includes speeches by Miss Ray Lev, pianist who played at the original concert: William Patterson, executive secretary of the Civil Rights Congress which sponsored the concert; and Father Clarence Duffy, American Catholic priest from the Diocese of Kilmore, Eire.

Emmanuel Margolis, teaching fellow in Government and chairman of the Rally Committee, claims the rally is "an attempt to alert the campus to the real meaning of such incidents."
