SPECIAL ISSUE
POLITICS AND
EMPOWERMENT
Rodney Sumler, Phoenix publisher, talks about his
political involvements ana how his political views
have been used to virtually destroy him in the last of
three interviews by Patricia Smith-Deering on page
3.
Many Forsyth County blacks register and don't
follow through by exercising their right to vote.
Patricia Smith-Deering presents some reasons why
in her commentary on page 7.
Political empowerment is critical to solving many of
the problems faced by the black community. Some
Triad area community leaders present their views
on how best to bring about that empowerment in
Roxanne Covington’s story on page 9.
North Carolina's historically-black coileges and
universities have Herman Gist to thank for millions
of state funds. Roxanne Covington reports on his
work and his candidacy on page 21.
