RALDGH-Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. said he feels the
racial climate in has improved in North Carolina during
his term of office and that some of his administration's
1 programs and priorities have contributed to that
improvement.
"I think race relations have improved," Hunt said in a
conversation with the Chronicle last Friday morning.
"And 1 hope that,\ as governor 1 have helped with that in
three ways: first of aH, by standing personally for
equality . and fairness; second, by having in -my
administration, at high levels and In increasing numbers,
black officials, and third in establishing programs in this
state, particularly in education and economic dev*i?n
meat and health care, that \ are opening doors of
opportunity for black citizens, especially the young
I ones."
