The saga began back in the Moravian village of Salem when the inhabitants brought in laborer Johannes Samuel in the 1760s. We introduced you to the handful of other blacks who attended the first school in the early 1800s. Later on, blacks helped keep the home fires burning during the Civil War and , began to take their place as tradesmen. The city of Winston emerged as a growing industrial city on the brains and brawn of black men and women who came by foot, wagon and train to work in tobacco factories Yet many of those factory workers went into business for themselves and they build a business establishment that outstrips the' {present day. :? The community they knew has been rebuilt and split up by urban renewal and other upheavals.

"The mistake most black journalists make is to go into the job telling the boss what's wrong with the organization, instead of showing what they can do, then telling him what's wrong," Robinson said. "A person's 1 attitude is the least talked about, but very important in ?journalism and the media." Robinson was the keynote speaker for the second annual Mass Media Conference luncheon, which was held on the campus of A&T State University.
