Redlining Foes Tackle First Union Bank
Continued From Page lA
bank lobby demanding a meet
ing. but were Intercepted by Dan
Balsden, a First Union execu
tive. After a flve-mlnute stand
off, Allen led the group outside.
Barbara Moore, president of
the Villa Heights Neighborhood
Association, said black neigh
borhoods have been good cus
tomers of white banks like First
Union, but haven't gotten a fair
share of services or loans.
"We're the last ones to get any
thing," she said. "At times, we're
getting the crumbs while the
cake is being passed around to
southeast Charlotte."
Moore said that If First Union
refuses the alliance's proposals,
they will move to block the First
Unlon-Florlda Natlonad merger.
'We feel we have a very good
case. We feel positive about the
moves we're making," she said.
'We want them to look at us as
people with a profit Instead of
people with a loss. Accept peo
ple of color as Individuals who
can help them profit."
T.V. Adams, a First Union vice
president who has handled ne
gotiations with the alliance, said
the bank has acted In good faith
and pickets aren't really neces
sary.
'We think we've been totally re
sponsive to what they've asked,"
he said. "1 think the most effec
tive way (to resolve the Issue) Is
to have these meetings weve
had In the past three months.
"The bank has never redllned.
To my knowledge, we have never
turned down a qualified loan In
those communities."
Allen, however disagrees, cit
ing First Union's figures that
point to fewer loans In black
neighborhoods than white ones.
"Their statistics show that
they haven't made any loans to
25 census tracts, which are bas
ically minority neighborhoods,"
he said.
The bank would be wise to
work with the communities In
terms to not only comply with
federal staiiaards, but to taking
on a new source of Income: the
black community.

aren't as bad as people say."
With the Republican primary
Sept. 26, Gardner faces strong
competition for one of the four
available at-large spots, but he's
ready to challenge the percep
tion that black Republicans
can't win.
'We'll have to see. It's new
ground," he said. "Before, people
asked If a Republican could win
in a Democratic district, and we
know what that answer was."

"For one thing. It's the law," jU-
len said. "For another. It ghes
them a chance to tap Into new
markets."
Adams Insists First Union can
win Its merger If the community
group tried to stop It, but be
lieves negotiation can keep both
sides happy.
"We do not think they can de
lay the merger," he said. "The
next move is that If they ask for
another meeting, we will attend
It. The ball is In their court."
