Among the African Americans
in attendance were Aldermen Vir
ginia Newell, Larry Womble and
Nelson Malloy.
Malloy said that before Wood
became mayor, "Winston-Salem
was run by a good-ole boy net
work." Wood's election meant
"breaking the old pattern,*1 he said.
"Winston-Salem was undergoing an
economic transformation. People
were in despair. The future was
uncertain."
When asked did he think the
mayor was solely responsible for
the good things that have happened,
Malloy said: "I think she is on the
right track.
"At least we (African Ameri
cans) can talk. At least we have
access to her," be said, referring to
the mayor's policy of keeping the
Martha Wood
door open.
In her speech, the mayor esti
mated that 3,000 new jobs have
been created during her tenure.
"Not bad for a community thor
oughly demoralized four short years
ago ..." she said.
During an interview with (he
Chronicle two weeks ago, Wood
acknowledged the importance of the
black vote during her first mayoral
campaign. Thai support set the tone
for her administration, she said, by
showing that "blacks and whites can
work together for the common
good."
She said that during the eight
years she was an alderman, eco
nomic issues that concerned East
Winston stayed on the back burner.
That changed, however, when she
became mayor.
"The white business commu
nity is more open to understanding
the concerns of the black commu
nity. ... An attitude changed has
occurred."
Geneva Brown, one of two
African Americans on the Winston
Salem/Forsyth County School
board, said: "That lady (Wood)
works her buns off. Ill do whatever
it takes to get her elected."

about 20 people have called his
Snow Hill office, and he has gotten
a "lot of promises" from people
who say they wilt donate money

the school have called to offer their
support

hasn't been an concerted effort
from the students to show their
concern. Edmondson also said that

the media in her area has not cov
ered the incident as well as those in
the Triad, so residents are not up
to-date on Talonda's condition. She
said, however, that school officials
made an effort last week to help
find accommodations for Saidet
Lanier and her family in Winston
Salem, only to find that arrange
ments had already been made.
If Talonda's stay in Winston
Salem turns out to be longer than
expected, she said, "the Greene
County school system stands ready
to help." ?
Dale Manning, a Greene
County tax collector, described the
Laniers as a "real nice family." She
described Snow Hill, with a popu
lation of about 1 ,300, as the sort of
place "where everybody knows
what everybody else is doing."
