Carrie Winter Named
1986
WBT Woman Of The Year
v«me Kj. winter, chairman of
the Chfrlotte-Mecklenburg Board
of Education, has been named
WBT Radio’s 1986 Woman of the
Year. Selected by a panel of for
mer recipients of the award and
nominated by'the Charlotte Buai
neee and Professional Women's
Club, Mrs. Winter was cited for
her leadership in finding a new
School Superintendent. An
nouncement of the award' was
made by Mary C. MacMillan, vice
president of marketing for Jeffer
son-Pilot Communications Com
pany at the presentation at Jona
than's Uptown at noon, March 31.
Mrs. Winter's strong leadership
and guidance served the Char
lotte-Mecklenburg Board of Edu
cation well as it faced the formida
ble task of replacing School Super
intendent Dr. Jay Robinson in
1986. As chairman of the board, it
was Came Winter who coordinat
ed and led the search process, and
who kept the public informed dur
ing the search. She has been cred
ited with major responsibility for
the Board's recent unanimous and
enthusiastic choice of Dr. Peter
Relic for the position. A choice that
is a testament to Carrie Winter's
exceptional leadership skills, her
strength and high standards of ex
. cellence.
Came Winter also worked tire
lessly during the past year on an
other major project which ad
dresses a vital community need.
Through her work with the Meck
lenburg County Task Force on Ad
olescent Health, we now have an
outstanding adolescent pregnancy
program.
Another important accomplish
ment for Mrs. Winter was bring
ing to fruition the PTA Thrift
Shop. This venture provides much
needed support for PTAs through
out our greater Charlotte commu
nity. And it shows her continuing
concern for our school communi
ty. Her insight and understanding
while President of the PTAs
helped tremendously at a crucial
time in the school integration pro
cess in Charlotte.

Launches Statewide Effort
Wilmington, NC - The North
Carolina Black Leadership Caucus
will co-sponsor a rally and work
shop on April 4 at 11:30 a.m. in
Wilmington's Williston Junior
High School, 401 8. 10th St. The
purpose of the rally and workshop
is to train a cross section of black
leadership necessary to build a
Buy Freedom campaign across
North Carolina.
The Buy Freedom campaign
combines church, education and
entrepreneurial activity to re
direct black consumer spending to
support minority-owned or
"Freedom" businesses with half of
their disposable income. National
ly, Black Americans spend only
6.6% with black-owned business
es. The Buy Freedom campaign
offers the promise of creating
thousand of jobs in black commu
nities across North Carolina if
black consumers revise their
spending habits. These individuals
would literally buy their freedom
without government assistance.
The day's events will include a
12:30 luncheon, a viewing of the
video "The Only Color of Freedom
is Green" at 2 p.m., concurrent
workshops at 2:30, and a rally with
journalist Tony Brown at 4:30. The
concurrent workshops will feature
sessions for ministers, educators,
entrepreneurs and community
leads rs/consumers.
The Buy Freedom campaign
was launched in Wilmington in
1986. Success in the Wilmington
area has won the support of busi
nesses located across the state. In
addition, black-owned businesses
in South Carolina have expressed
interest in launching a Buy Free
dom campaign in their state.
