Negro Troops to
Parade Tomorrow
By Associated Press
Kinston, N.C., Dec. 31—For the first time since the war
between the States negroes in military uniform will parade through Kinston’s
streets Wednesday and they will get a reception far different from that
accorded the darkies in bluecoats who in small numbers came into the town
during the ‘60s. The Emancipation Day program here calls for a procession to be
headed by discharged and furloughed men in khaki. More than 100 will be in
line. They will carry no arms, of course.
