Continued from Page 1
Summarizing the basic
purpose of his campaign to
become the second elected
black state senator in
_ Mecklenburg history, Polk
said: “1 have a particular
mission to represent a seg
ment of the populatlon-the
black community-I can
represent that segment
very well. I'm interested,
I---T
of course, in the total
community, but there are
certain concerns that are
peculiar to the black com

someone from this Senate
