FBI investigating
anti-abortionists
in shot at justice
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON ? The FBI says it is investigating
the possibility that an antiabortion
group may be responsible for a
bullet fired through a window in Supreme
Court Justice Marry Blackmun's apartment
last week.
Blackmail has been the target of threats
since he wrote the court's 1973 decision
legalizing abortion.
I B I spokesman l.ane Bonner said Monday
that while the agency had no suspects, "We
arc looking seriously at threatening letters
from anti-abortion groups, especially a recent
one."
No one was injured in the incident,
although Blacknum's wife reportedly was
sprayed with glass as she sat in the living
room of their apartment in suburban Arlington,
Va., when the shot was fired after 10
p.m. Thursday.
Blackmun, 76, was said to have just left
the room when the shot was fired.
The bullet, a 9 mm slug that could have
been fired by a pistol or rifle, was recovered

Blackmun has been placed under constant
police protection, and all of his mail is being

d?.a.iTtr?, ? i^c-spue numerous advances since a 1965
civil rights march in which about 600 demonstrators were ||
clubbed and routed by state police, there's still "a long, long
way to go," an organizer said as 2,000 people re-created the
trek from Selma to Montgomery.
The Rev. Joseph Lowery, the march organizer, and the Rev.
Jesse Jackson criticized Reagan administration foreign and
domestic policies as the 50-mile march commemorating
"Bloody Sunday" began.
"We've marched too far to be turned back now. We've died
too young to let a California cowboy turn back the clock,"
said Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference.
"WE'RE NOT MARCHING just for the rieht to vote "
Jackson said. "We want the right to save our farms, the right
to eat, the right to health care, the right to peace, the right to i
justice." A
Police estimated that about 2,000 marchers began the ;
memorial Sunday by crossing the Edmund Pet t us Bridge, ?
where black demonstrators were assaulted in 1965. The march
ends Thursday with a rally at the state Capitol.
Also participating were Corctta Scott King, widow of Martin
Luther King Jr., and Atlanta City Councilman John
Lewis, who was clubbed in the head during the aborted march
20 years ago.
Participants planned to lay a wreath at the site where

TIIK MARCH ALONG U.S. 80, retracing the route taken
20 years ago, commemorates the journey that prompted Congress
to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which banned
forms of intimidation that denied voting rights to blacks or
discouraged them from registering at Deep South courthouses.
In the 20 years since, the number of black elected officials in
the 11 Southern states has grown from fewer then 100 to more
than 4,000, according to the Atlanta-based Voter Education
Project, which organized the anniversary event along with the LI
SC I C. I1
The number of registered black voters in the 11 states has E
climbed from about 2.5 million to more than 5.5 million, according
to project officials.
"We have come a long, long, way." Lowery said. "But we
have a long, long way to go."
ON MARCH 7, 1965, a day thai became known as "Bloody
Sunday" in civil rights movement annals, troopers and
mounted deputies clubbed and routed some 600 marchers ai
the bridge. I wo weeks later. King arrived with a federal court
order and National Guardsmen to lead a successful march to

juiiitu uy several tnousanu macks and many
whiles from across the country. l'
Saying "we have unfinished business," Jackson called
Selma "hallowed ground" and said Sunday's demonstration }
was "to resurrect the spirit of our struggle." (
In contrast to the violence of 1965, the march Sunday was [
marked by gestures of racial friendship, it begna at Brown
Chapel, a landmark of the 1965 protests. During services in- ? I
side the church, Lowery and Jackson each were presented a
key to the city from Selma's.white mayor, Joe Smitherinan.
Smitherman, who acknowjcdged that lie opposed the mar- ;
chers when he was mayoi 20 years ago. sat beside Jackson during
services at the chapel and shared a hymnal with him as they I
