tor of the group. Rev.
James Herndon, fired
the organization's lawyer .
who . said he'd never
, hired her, and recalled a
. letter to potential sup
porters in which he asked
for tax deductible con
tributions. . ; , '
The problem with the
letter was that Rev. ,
J Herndon's group never ,
filed for; tax exempt,
status. The problem with
the lawyer, according to ,
Herndon, waff that she
did not file the papers he
had requested her to
prepare.
The lawyer, who asked
not to be identified,
disagrees. She said that
she never was hired by,
Herndon and that she
' does not want to be
associated with any of
his endeavors.
Undaunted, Herndon,
who is the leader of the
Herndon Singers, still in
tends to start his "Crisis
Center" which he hopes
will be able to help
Durham's poor residents
who are in desperate
need of financial and
spiritual assistance.
Acknowledging that
he had made a mistake
by sending out a letter
soliciting contribution
and saying that they
would be tax deductible
withouhaving a tax ex
empt status, Herndon
said: "If I made a
mistake, it was an inno
cent mistake. I don't
always have time to
think out everything."
The lawyer said that
she and Herndon talked
several weeks ago about
getting tax exempt
status, but that he was to
get back to her before
any action was Jo be
taken.
The next thing she
heard about the tax ex
empt status and the con
tributions was when a
reporter from The
Carolina Times called
her and read her the por-
tion of the letter sent out
over Rev. Herndon's
signature stating that all
contributions to the
crisis bank should, be
sent to her. .The letter
had been addressed to
the newspaper's
publisher.- ; . . . '..
' The lawyer then called
RevT Herndon and, ac
- cording to both him and
her, she "scolded" him
for releasing such a letter
without her prior review
and approval. '
"The letter as done
without my consent,"
she said. She added that
status was acquired. He ,
said that; he was in the
process of finding a new
lawyer.

ings. It would take six
months just to bring the
relocatees into the pro
cess." Allen says , the
relocatees should have
been in on the ground
floor.
The relocatees argued
that point ; when ' the
Chain first started work
ing for the city. Many of
the businesses felt they
should have helped the
city plan the relocation
effort. Not knowing
what the city really
wanted the Chain to do,,
initially all of the
businesses .' decided
against helping the
Chain help the city. One
later decided to let the
Chain "assist" it.
"What the businesses
are saying to the city byT
not cooperating is ap
proach us as business
people," Allen said,
"and I think that's
realistic." . ,, -v
Allen said the ' city
should play above
board,' approaching the
businesses with detailed
plans, allpwing the
businesses input, then
moving on a mutual
agreement. 1
A mutual agreement is
what the businesses
thought they had when
the city's urban renewal
bulldozers rolled
through Hayti over a ten
year period. 1
Hayti was a bustling

sisting of over 1 00,
businesses and more
than 600 homes. Pro
mises to rebuild the area
remain to be filled. . v
With their markets

city, most ; of the
businesses died. A few .
relocated and survived.
But eight, businesses,
seven of them housed in
city-owned '.'temporary"
facilities in "Tin City",
a part of the old Hayti
area, are still there.
The city wants to
relocate these firms
quickly to expedite plans
to redevelop Hayti and
thereby help increase the
city's tax base.
; The problem is that
the struggling businesses
contend that the city
hasn't offered enough
money to make moving
feasible. So the Chain, a
40-year-old non-profit
black business assistance
agency, was called in to
"assist" these
businesses. Mainly the
Chain was supposed to
find out how much
money it would take to
relocate the businesses,
which ones would need
financial assistance and
where that assistance
might come from, and
which ones are pretty
much beyond saving.
But the businesses, ex

Chain must first present ; the black community to
a detailed developmental take a more active rote in

businesses can respond.
Allen said he's putting,
the finishing touches on
that proposal.-
The Chain will pro
pose a shopping center at
the corner of Lakewood
and Roxboro streets.
This; Allen said,
hopefully will open up
negotiations between the
city and the businesses.
So the Chain's ac
'complishments with the
city contract to date are
development of a market
strategy for Service Prin
ting - Company and :
developing a shopping
center proposal ' that
could lay the ground
work for, negotiations
that Allen says should
have been done before
;, the contract, and is need
ed for progress to be
realized. f ,
'. The Chain's proposal
might work, but it con
flicts with janother black
group's perception of
how Hayti can best be
Hayti's redevelopment
process.
The apparent conflict
in the two groups' pro
posals will be settled by
the City Council which
ordered a feasibility
study to determine how
Hayti can best be
developed. According to
city officials, bids are be
ing solicited for firms to
do the study.
Already, there are
three Hayti redevelop
ment proposals before
the council. One propos
ed by city planners
features housing,
another by HDC
features commercial
enterprises and a third,
worked out by HDC and
city planners the so
called "comprisement"
proposal that the
council accepted in con
cept but did not approve.
No one knows if the
Chain will have the
. relocatees in the middle
of redevelopment discus
: sions by the time the
council adopts a Hayti
redevelopment proposal,
but Allen feels optimistic
about the prospects.
"After we develop a
total package, including
the shopping center, I
think the firms will have
something to base deci
sions on, and - will be
more responsive," Allen
said. "They will know
what we can do based on
'their needs, and how
they can be assisted."
That may depend part
ly on whether the Chain
itself will be in business.
With that process expec
ting to take over one
month, the Chain could
run out of operating
funds. Chain officials
are expecting to hear any
day now if the agency
will receive a grant,
worth about $153,000
from the federal Minori
ty Business Development
Agency.
MBDA officials in
Atlanta wouldn't say
when the grant will be
awarded or if the Chain
appears to be the likely
recipient.
It also was not clear if
the slow progress with
the city government con
tract will have any bear
ing on the Chain's
likelihood of getting the
federal government contract.
