"It was my feeling (during the
first vote) that the money it would
cost Could be better spent on other
things. I think it would have cost
something like $165,000, which
doesn't sound like a large expense,
but if you continue on, $165,000
here and there adds up. In times
when the economy is not at its best
we had to watch every dollar,"
Willard said Tuesday night.
But he added that Parmon and
Woodruffs addition to the board did
change his outlook on the issue.
"The makeup of the board had
changed. It was my feeling that it
would be better to go ahead and,
vote for it this time. I thought it
? would bring a little unity to the
According to Woodruff, the
holiday brought unity to more than
the board ? it brought unity to the
county.
"We all need to work together.
It's good to celebrate Martin Luther
King's birthday, because God moves
us. And we can move (MLK's)
dream. We have to work toward
making his dream a reality and il
lakes all kinds of peopie to do that,"
Woodruff said.
Woodruff said it was unfortu
nate that the county "had to wait
until we got here."
Parmon agreed. "It's important
now that our black youth under
stand what this holiday is all about
As a community and a county, we
have to strive to become involved in
the activities and the programs that
will be held for Or. King," she said.
"Dr. King's birthday should be a day
of reflection and involvement to
civil rights and the struggle. The
struggle is not over. We've come
along way and we have a long way
to go."
Parmon said she hopes that the
entire county will take this hohday
as an opportunity to come together

front
"Man^rofthe youth were not
around to understand what the civil
rights struggle was all about. It's
incumbent for us to keep that part of
history alive for them. Dr. King's
holiday should be spent doing just
that," she said.
Said Willard, "Martin Luther
King is a holiday for the entire
county, as it is throughout a good bit
of the country, it's a holiday that
^welHiave with us for jnany years to
come."

that will help us to stop killing our

, killing themselves? Will we talk
? about extending the life span of
black Americans in general? And
what will we say about improving

ston? I Have a Dream .-. .
Will we celebrate the life of
this great man by designing strate
gies to improve performance by our
children in elementary and sec
ondary schools? How will we help
them to graduate with a diploma
that they can finally read?
And as we march down MLK
drive, will we think about all the
drugs that were sold the night
before on that very street?
I have a dream ...
... What have we done with the
goals and objectives of last year at
this time ? January 19, 1991? Or
did we set any goals? Is anyone
keeping count? Is anyone charting
our progress other than the statisti
cians who work for the US Census
? Bureau7Labor Department, Health
and Human Services or the National
Urban League that always issues a
report on the State of Black Ameri
ca? ..." I have a dream.. . .
I wonder about these things. Do
you? * x
While I suspect that all of us
are very much in favor of celebrat
ing the holiday ? are committed in
' word and in deed ? we must also
be willing to ask "how are we using
* this holiday to further the cause Dr.
King lived and died for?"
Are we using this holiday in the
right way ? Are we using this day to
focus on those initiative things that
it will truly lead us all to the moun
tain top ? to the promised land?
If on Monday, January 20, we
march, gather together, sing and
parade because we don't quite know
what else to do then we will have
done a disservice to the man we so
dearly loved and appreciated.
And we can also know this:
next year at this same timer we asa
people, will be no closer to realizing
the dream of Martin Luther King
Jr., than we are right now.
This most important holiday
will be meaningful if and only if
you and I will once again hold
each other accountable!
I have a dream . . .

tackle is "the myth that this is a
racist state. I'm representing a
multi-racial campaign. This state
has an obligation to provide equal
opportunity for everyone." Also, as
an African-American, Williams said
he wants to "knock out the political
cronyism that exists in state govern
ment today," he said.
^ " Williams, who will run jis a
Democrat, said he decided to
announce his bid for governor early
so he could begin what he called a
"non-traditional campaign."
rx "I don't plan to tie up the air
waves with my campaign. I'm going
to do a shoe leather campaign," he
said. By that, Williams said, he
plans to go door-to-door to residents
throughout North Carolina and visit
groups, organizations and churches,
which he has already begun to do.
All this, Williams admits, will
put an end to his sometimes 50-hour
per week work schedule.
"I plan to resign at the end of
February so that I can engage full
time in my campaign," he added.
u Williams also served as executi^
director of the Legal Services of the
Coastal Plain for four years before
moving to Wilmington in 1987. He
said his experiences, such as bal
ancing a budget, serving clients,
working with lawyers, and oversee
ing a staff of 17, adds to his qualifi
cations as the state's next governor.
Williams is married to Althea
Williams, an assistant district
attorney in New Hanover and Pen
der counties. He received a bache
lors degree in political science
from the University of North Car
olina at Chapel Hill.
He then went on to earn his
law degree from the University of
Minnesota. While in undergradu
ate school, Williams served as
president of the Student Govern
ment Association and while still a
freshman in law school, began
working for the legal aid services.
He was also student body presi
dent at Lumberton Senior High
Schoof and at the University of
Minnesota School of Law.
Answering the question does he
think he'll win the gubernatorial
election, Williams answers, "defi
nitely." ^
"I'm a Tiard worker and I
believe I approach my work with
alacrity and vigor . Before (Virgini
an Governor) Wilder and Jesse
Jackson, I was out there working for
the people."
Campaigning under the slogan,
"Progress through interaction,**
Williams said one of his aims is to
develop this idea statewide.
"TTiis is a futuristic slogan. It
means that we should all leave the
world in a better state than it was in
when we got here."
