other items to residents in Eastern N.C.

MCWSV President Bishop Todd
Fulton said he was proud to see the com
munity come together to help those in
need. He said, although it will be some
time before things get back to normal in
many cities in the Eastern portion of the
state, it feels good to know that the groups
did make a difference.
"We have had a tremendous response
from our local churches and our communi
ty. I'm just grateful to be a native of
Winston-Salem and a part of this wonder
ful city."
Council member Denise "D.D."
Adams said, "We want the people in the
east to know that Winston-Salem cares. We
want them to know that we are here for
them."

send supplies to those in need. She said,
"This is only the beginning."
The City of Winston-Salem and
the Minsters' Conference of
Winston-Salem and Vicinity col

water and other items to send to
those in need in the east.

from page Al
Life Insurance Co. in the
1980s, rumors began to
surface that the building
would be demolished to
make way for something
new, but black entrepre
neurs, business owners and
both former and current
elected officials fought to
ensure the tan-colored
building remained a staple
in the community well into
the late '90s. During that
time the building housed a
doctor's office, a pharma
cy, lawyers' offices, a bank
and countless other things,
many of which were black
owned and operated.
Former state Sen.
Earline Parmon and gener
al assembly Rep. Larry
?mjuh^HBEJ
Womble both ran their
campaigns out of the
Winston Mutual Building.
Council member Derwin
Montgomery has a connec
tion with the building as
well. In 2013, then a stu
dent at Winston-Salem
State University,
Montgomery ran his cam
paign for City Council out
of the building.
After running a suc
cessful campaign, one year
later Montgomery and
other City Council mem
bers voted to move the
Winston-Salem
Engineering Field Office
and Winston-Salem Police
Department Community
Resource Unit inside the
building.
Prior to the marker
unveiling, Montgomery
said, "While it is important
that we memorialize the
historic nature of the phys
ical building it is equally
important that we honor the
spirit that still lives today."
He said, "When we
think about Winston
Mutual and black-owned
businesses, we have a lot of
work to do, but Winston
Mutual symbolizes what
has been and what can be
for our community."
Mayor Tempore Vivian
Burke said, "I'm proud to
be apart of this historic
moment.
"Winston Mutual stood
for so much. It made a dif
ference for those who felt
they could make a econom
ic impact in this communi
ty and in this city."
