Rep. Joy Johnson (in background) also was featured at the dinner. Oxendine, Johnson Speak At Civic League State Representatives Henry Ward Oxen dine and Joy Johnson spoke here last Friday at the First annual banquet of the Hoke County Civic League. Oxendine outlined the progress made by minorities in the last 25 years, such as now being able to obtain lodging when traveling. Members of minority races still must go to the "dominant race" when borrowing money, Oxendine said, but he reminded his audience that banks need borrowers. "It's the same with merchants," Oxendine said. "When you buy from the merchant, you are doing him a favor." In this county, the minority races arc the majority, Oxendine said, and all races need to work together. "The minorities don't owe any apologies to anyone, because they gave the land and labor that made this country what it is and they have every right to share in it," Oxendine said. Johnson recalled his first campaign and how he waited for the ballots to be tallied to become the First black representative from the 21st district. Johnson blasted the state slogan on license tags, "First in Freedom." North Carolina has the largest number of persons on death row and has the highest number of welfare errors made by persons working in welfare offices. "First in Freedom, yet we have people dying of malnutrition," Johnson said. "Breaking our necks to adopt foreign babies when we have unlimited babies in the U.S. needing homes. "The facts need to be recognized that freedom has not yet come in this country and the fight must go on," Johnson said. A question and answer period followed the talks. The civic league was formed a year ago by a group of concerned ministers. Officers are the Rev. M.H. Williams, president; Jimmy Morrisey, vice-chairman; Mrs. Kathryn McPhatter, secretary; Mrs. Minnie Simmons, assistant secretary and Elder N.W. McPhatter, treasurer. The invocation was given by the Rev. W.K. Mitchell, pastor of Silver Grove M.B. Church and Mrs. McPhatter welcomed the guests. E.H. Oxendine, principal of Upchurch Junior High, introduced the speakers. The benediction was given by the Elder N.W. McPhatter, pastor of St. Andrews Holiness Church.
