Since then, thousands of people from around the country of all races and ethnic groups, all ages, all income levels, ail religious backgrounds and both sexes have expressed their righteous outrage at the gross injustices of that white-led country in a similar fashion. Their numbers have included three persons from WinstonSalem -- the Rev. John Mendez of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Duane Jackson of Dellabrook The Reagan 1 Don't look now, but Ronald Reagan has inspired the latest rage in black hairstyles. For reasons unbeknownst to social scientists and newspaper columnists, today's black youth obviously like the way the president's hair dips on one side and rises on the other. So they're getting their hair "shaped" like the chief executive's.

Congressman Neal's bill would guarantee young people that there will be funds available for them in the future. It also would guarantee benefits to their parents and grandparents.

After a bit more investigating, I discovered that the Reagan Look originated in WinstonSalem, appropriately enough, at a barber shop called "The Rite Spot." "We were the first ones to do that here," said barber Kenny Bonham. "My father (the Rev.

Three years later, you're likely to see Mr. President, or a reasonable, slightly darker facsimile thereof, several times a day. "It's catching on," Bonham said. "Actually, it's a nice haircut." Bonham also says youth aren't the only ones enamored of the haircut.
