chairman of the executive committee of the local
Democratic Party; Annie Brown Kennedy, a state House
representative and local attorney, and Walter Marshall,
vice president of the Winston-Salem chapter of the

Jackson until Jackson releases his delegates." Kennedy

leaning toward Jackson, Parmon said.
Kennedy, who is in Raleigh for the state Legislature's
short session, could not be reached for comment....

By ROBIN ADAMS n
Chronicle Staff Writer
In "real life," U.S. Rep. Jim Martin is a
La self-proclaimed, "mild-mannered
chemistry teacher." But, for the next five L
months, he's trying to change his occupa- tl
tion to that of a bridge-builder.
And, oh, what an architectural feat he h
hopes to perform. gl
Martin wants to link the Republican n
Party, which many think was formed bv n
Jesse Helms, with the black population. ?
"I want to join the community of black <
citizens who vote in North Carolina and ^
the party of Abe Lincoln," Martin said
recently during a visit to Greensboro. ^
"For long historic reasons, blacks have c
left the party, but black support for the
Republican Party needs to be recaptured ?
and we need to build that back together." in
Martin acknowledges that his job won t jc
be easy but, to many black citizens, it may pj
be more difficult that he could imagine.
For one thing, as a congressman from the (<
9th District (Mecklenburg, Iredell, Lin- h
coin and Yadkin counties), Martin voted n
along with Helms-against making Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a na- V
tional holiday. aj
His reason for doing so, Martin said, is d<
because he does not think King was te
fighting for holidays. se
