against Northwest Child

company with discriminating
practices in the hiring and
promotion of blacks. 44Some
of these complaints have
been returned to us because
they failed to explicitly state _
the nature of the discrimination,
but this is only a minor
delay," said Sumler. Corporation
director Susan Law
acknowledged that she has
received notice of four
complaints.
Tracy SingletaFy, a member

complaints to the WinstonSalem
