TKi victorious hospital non­ professionals compared their fight for justice with that of the Negro Freedom Fighters of the South. The two groups, they said, were fighting for the same thing —“human dignity and justice.” Attends Party This was suggested, if not strengthened, by the appearance of the Rev.
