Popular City Councilman
Cites Greensboro Gains
Voters, white and Negro,
emphatically let it be known
that they wanted him to serve
a second term as city coun
cilman by giving 1^ the
largest number of votes of aU-
the candidates running in
their April primary. Doctor
George Hampton, physician
and native of Englewood,
New Jersey, was elected to
the Greensboro city council
for a second term in the May
city elections.
He became the first Negro
to serve on that city*& gover-
ing body when he was elect
ed in 1851.
Dr. Hampton and his fam
ily, which includes a wife and
two youngsters, have just
complete their first visit to
AsheviUe and the land of the
sky. It wag during their vaca-
lion. While here they stayed
with Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Robert
son of Depot Street. Dr. Hamp
ton Intimated tlut he liked this
part of the Caroltnas.
A comparatively young 41
years ot age, Dr. Hamtiton talk
ed at length with this reporter
in regard to some of the prob
lems connected with electing a
Negro to the City Council of a
southern city and about some of
the benefits accruing from such
representation.
Dr. Hampton said that'he ex
perienced no dilBculty in being
cordially Mcaivad and traated
by his fellow councilmen. As a
matter of fact, the atmosphere
was so cordial and friendly that

for they “honeymoon” to end,
he declared.

marks. He indicated to this re
porter that he found In chat
ting with various councilmen
here that they were quite friend
ly.
In talking about his first
candidacy back in 1951, Dr.
Hampton said that he was ori
ginally endorsed by an organi
zation of citizens known as the
Greensboro Citizens Associa
tion^ but that by the time the
campaign was to get underway,
the entire Negro community had
been organized on his behalf.
His election represented the first
time a Negro was to be elected
to the city council of a major
North Carolina city on a city-
wide voting basis.
Dr. Hampton, in outlining
some of the progress which has
been made while he has been
serving on the city council of a
city of some 80,000 people
(nearly 28,000 of whom are Ne
groes) said that he considered
the fact that for the first time
Negroes were being appointed to
the various policy planning
commissions of the city to be a
development of great signflcance
in the affairs of government by
the people, including the Negro
citizenry.
He also talked al>out an in
creased amount of paving being
done in Negro neighborhoods,
more and better street lighting
in many of the Negro neighbor-
lioods, employment of a full
time Negro recreation director
and getting many of the Ne
groes working for the city put
on civil service for the first time.
Dr. Hampton made it clear,
however, that he was not at
tempting to take credit for these
gains, but was simply citing
some of the things which have
been done since he has been a
member of the council.
Dr. Hampton is what may be
termed a “new” southerner. A
native of New Jersey, he did his
college work at Al^d Univer
sity in New York State. It was
after he took his degree at Me-
harry Medical College at Nash
ville, Tenn., that he was to be
come a “son” of the South.
While interning at the Kate-
Blttings Reynolds Hospital in
Winston-Salem, he was to marry
the former Miss Wilhelmenia
Ford of that city. He moved to
Greenst>oro to start his practice
shortly after completing his in
ternship at the L. Richardson
Memorial Hospital. That was in
1940. Now, the Hamptons have
two children, a daughter and a
son aged 11 and 8,. and seem
quite happy to be considered one
of Grcansboro '‘first famiUas.”
