MARSHALL, Va. ? Refusal to
serve blacks at Roy McKoy's Belvoir
Restaurant sounds like a story out of
the distant 1960s, but it's one folks
here have seen linger into the 80s.
"Everybody knows it and steers
clear," said Franklin Woodson, a
black man who lives in nearby The
Plains and works in Marshall. 1 just
say, there's other restaurants 1 can go
to."
McKoy, 60, was jailed in 1967 and
again in 1974 for failing to comply
with court orders to serve blacks at his
small restaurant outside this farm
town, 50 miles southwest of
Washington, D.C.
He drew renewed attention last week
wnen a wasningion television sauon,
WRC, reported its three-man news
crew included two blacks were refused
service. Reporter Jim Upshaw said
McKoy told the TV crew he would
serve them coffee but that it would
cost "$500 a cup."

The Belvoir Restaurant was closed
again Friday, the doors locked and the
drapes drawn, although a delivery man
was admitted to drop off candy. No
one answered a reporter's knocks at
the restaurant or McKoy's adjoining

"1 can't help you. Let me tell you

about 6,000 people have Marshall addresses,

the town proper.
Many whites in the town said they
know McKoy and described him as an
eccentric who keeps to himself and his
family. But most would speak only on
condition they not be identified.
