Too many of us want to reap the harvest, but we do not want to plough the ground," said Abmiathy, a cofounder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and close associate of Martin Luther King, Jr. during the 1950s and 1960s. Called one of the "civil rights twins," he spoke with the knowledge of having fought for the rights that blacks today rnrniilcr ha<ir he ?:?wt "COMPLACKNCY has scl in," he repealed. "We think we have won the battle and we think that we even won tlie struggle. . . We've come a long way, but . . . complacency is eating away at the heart of America." Glancing down in serious moments, gesturing with his arms and dressed in a grey and lavender suit, bright red tie and pocket handkerchief, Abernathy spoke quietly at times and then with passion on his subject: "The Unifinished Task in the Field of Human Relations." The lecture was sponsored by the Afro American Studies Advisory Committee. The 59-ycar-old civil rights leader was president of the Southern Christian l eadership Conference after King's 1968 assassination. The pastor of West Hunter Street Baptist Church in Atlanta talked about past and present racism, black American heritage and black unemployment. ABKRNATHY'S AUDIKNCK filled all but the first few rows of the auditorium and responded warmly to his comments as he reviewed the history of the civil rights movement.

AT ANOTHER demonstration, when lire trucks directed water hoses at crowds with a "pressure so powerful ami cruel," the people sang, "I have been hapii/cd once; I don't mind being sprinkled again." Abernalhy also described his commitment to the civil rights movement. "I have been in jail 44 times for the rights of m\ people.
