X' A1 murder charge against Hunt and the other two men, Tisdale was defeated in the Democratic primary, with black voters overwhelmingly supporting his challenger, W. Warren Sparrow. Afterward, Tisdale said blacks used Hunt as simply a means of attacking and defeating him. "Hunt was not the angel they made him out to be," Tisdale told the Greensboro News A Record in May. "They didn't give a damn about Hunt. They were out to get me, and they got ?? me. "It's absolutely a lie," Little ^ said of tus involvement. 11 Wheti i began to work and raise questions about this thing in September '84 (when Hunt was arrested for the Sykes murder), I wasn't even remotely concerning myself with a primary that occurred in May 1986." ?I ??irf ha had known Hunt after living in the same neighborhood as Hilnt for five years. He said he also was concerned that Hunt wouldn't be tried fairly. North Ward Alderman Patrick T. Hairston said the two murder charges against Hunt areunrelated. "The first trial stunk so bad they are trying to clean it up with a second trial," he said. Northeast Ward Alderman Vivian H. Burke declined to comment on the second murder charge against Hunt. Last year, Mrs. Burke asked the city manager to review the police department's handling of the i A1 behind the disputes. The courts don't have time to do that.'*' Paul O. Cloud, who served as the executive director of the center for 18 months, said local corporations should realize the vaiuc ox mc ccruer. "The business leaders have a stake in this too,*' said Cloud, the affirmative action officer at Winston-Salem State University. "It is not only important to the black community; it is important to all of Forsyth County. "It would be sad if the funding for the program ceased to exist," Cloud said. Mrs. Menefee agreed. "The community would lose a good program if the center had to close," she said. Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to the Neighborhood Justice Center, P.O. Box 436, Winston-Salem. N.C. 27102.
