RALEIGH - Ben Ruffm,
newly appointed Director of
the N. C. Human Relations

determine the agency's priori

state and into the bushes to
see what the people want."

several efforts of economic
self-help for blacks in the Dur
ham area. In the 1960's. he'
was an activist in the city for
social reform. Ruffin is a
graduate of Hillside High
School and North Carolina
Central University.
Commenting on his priori

going to "get out and carry
the Human Relations Commis
sion (HRC) to the people and
find out what people would
like to do. Then see if we can't
go about doing that."
