In the second of two Saturday morning meetings between
members of the black community and city officials,
the_Committee to Promote Black Ownership_expressed
concern that tfie East Winston shopping center, slated for
construction beginning March 19, will be black-owned
and called for a meeting with center developer Mark
Vieno.
The request for the meeting was made by Dr. J. Raymond
Oliver, owner of the Jetway Shopping Center, who
*said he feels that a meeting "as soon as possible" with
Vieno would clear up "certain aspects" that prnspgrrivp
investors should be aware of.
Earline Parmon, of the East Winston Restoration
Association, was designated to work with Assistant City
Manager Allen Joines to set up a meeting with Vieno.
In addition, Alderman Virginia Newell, who conducted
Saturday's session, called for leadership in the black
