Teenager Elected Girls' State Governor
Melanie Joy Sellers, the daugh
ter of Otis and Gladys Sellers, was
elected governor at the 1993 Tar
Heel Girls* State. The annual event,
sponsored by the American Legion
Auxiliary Department of North Car
olina, was held at the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro.
Sellers and Benita Jones, the
daughter of Vera Jbnes, were spon
sored by the Lawrence Joel Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary #453.
Tar Heel Girls' State is a week
long program on citizenship. Each
citizen had opportunities for leader
ship development, where they met
various government officials and
organized local governments. Dur
ing the week, the citizens were
divided into political parties. The
parties developed party platforms,
engineered campaigns and elected a
slate of officers to govern Tar Heel
Girls' State.
At the closing program. Sellers'
address centered on a comparison of
the citizens of the 54th Session to a
relay team. The first leg was honor;
the second was knowledge; the third
was unity. The fourth leg, the
anchor, was to be run by each citi
zen in order to complete the race of
life.
Winston-Salem has been the
hometown for the Tar Heel Girls'
State governor for two consecutive
years. Twakia Murray, representing
Auxiliary #220, was the 1992 gover
nor.
