Racism
By DAVID L. DILLARD
Chronicle Staff Writer
A wave of controversy about the way some
major corporations have treated black consumers
has caused many black organizations to examine
routine practices of corporate businesses.
Jesse Jackson Jr., field director of the
National Rainbow Coalition, led a group of coali
tion supporters in an hour-long demonstration last
American Telephone & Telegraph in response to
cartoon of an ape use to depict Africans;
"We're not standing for a racist illustration
from AT&T, MCI, Sprint or anybody else," Jack
son, son of the civil-rights leader, said Friday in
an interview'. "This is not necessarily indicative of

Mayor's Re-election Bid Generates Big Money
A With no serious challenge in November* Wood raises nearly $34,000 __
? By MARK R. MOSS
Chronicle Staff Writer
Mayor Martha S. Wood, having raised nearly
$34,000 to finance her reelection campaign, said this
year's bid for the mayoral seat won't cost nearly as much
as the first time she ran four years ago.
Wood's first bid for the city's highest elected office
cost over $200,000. -
Last week, the Chronicle took a look at the amount
of monies collected and talked to some of the black can
didates about their fund-raising activities in 21 effort to
take a peek at how campaigns are fueled.
Although African Americans are not the dominate
group in any of the wards discussed below, who's
behind the white candidates and how they go about rais
ing money will in some way affect all of the city's resi
dents.
Wood said fund-raising is not easy.
Jailhouse Barber Spends Her
Weekends Grooming Inmates
By DAVID L. DILLARD
Chronicle Staff Writer
When Mary Kyles began cutting hair, she didn't
know she'd be doing it under the watchful eye of prison
guards and that her clients would be jail inmates
But she doesn't mind.
"I wasn't afraid at all. I've always been brave for
some reason," said Kyles, as she waited in a small room
at the Forsyth County Detention Center for the prison
guards to bring two inmates to her at a time. There are
at least three guards present while perfects their coif.
Kyles was called to cut the hair of an inmate about
to make a court appearance nearly five years ago. From
that moment, she has continued her service.
Kyles, a licensed barber stylist and instructor for
nearly 13 years, opened a school ? Triad Barber
-School at 4224 N. Liberty St ? in February. She dedi
cated most of her early years to raising her four sons,
after which she embarked upon her childhood dream.
"I felt it was time to do something for myself," she
said. "I always liked (cutting hair) and working with the
young boys."
At first, Kyles cut hair for the inmates every week
end, now she has cut back to twice on month on Sun
days. She also plans to turn over her barber school to
her son Paul Gambill Jr. once he earns his instructor's
license, so she can devote more time to the inmates.
"Hopefully, I have helped a lot of guys who could
have gone down the wrong path," said Kyles, who has
taught students who once were incarcerated. "I enjoy
working with young people and seeing them do well."
"You have to get out there and work for it," she
said. Wood said she tries to spend about three hours a
day calling people and asking for contributions.
The $34,000 figure comes from records filed with
the Forsyth County Board of Elections and is dated from
Jan. 1 to Sept. 6. Wood said that figure is up consider
ably since she won the primary last month.
But she said it is nowhere near the amount raised
