Whitley f nnounees Minority
UfA '? I :i
Council Members For Congress
- *'i *"
Congressman Charlie
Whitley has announced the
formation of his Advisory
Council for. Minority Affairs
for the %th Congress. The
Council was initially created
by Whitley early in 1977 and
consists of at least one
minority representative from
each of the nine counties in
the third congressional dis
trict.
Whitley stressed that
while he encourages all indi
viduals to contact him in
person, by mail or other
means, the Council serves,
on occasion, as a channel for
individuals seeking to com
municate with him. He also
noted that visits to churches,
civic groups and other or
ganizations do not always
lend themselves to the type
of frank and informal dis
cussion of specific public
issues which is desirable.
Whitley said that the pur
pose of the Council is to
provitte a forum and
mechanization for him to
meet regularly with persons
from the black community
within his district to have an
exchange of information,
views and concerns. The
Council meets with the Con
gressman once each calendar
quarter at a central location.
For the two-year term of
the %th Congress. Duplin
County will be represented
on the Council by Mrs.
Margarettc T. Kenan.
A social worker for the
Duplin County Department
of Social Services, Mrs.
Kenan is a graduate of N.C.
Central University. Active in
local civic affairs, she is an
active member of the Duplin
County Democratic Party and
Secretary of the Third Dis
trict Democratic Black
Leadership Caucus. Married
to Thurman Kenan of
Teachey. they have two chil
dren. Mrs. Kenan and her
husband are members of the
First Baptist Church in
Teachey.
She succeeds Windsor
Johnson, who was Duplin
County's representative
during the 95th Congress.
In.addition to the official
representative of each
county. Dr. O.K. Stovall of
Goidsboro. is an ex officio
member by virtue of his
position as Chairman of OK
Third Congressional District
Black Caucus, a political
organization.
"The Advisory Council for
Minority Affairs was vary
helpful to me during the last
Congress." Whitley stated,
"and I believe it was an
effective vehicle for insuring
that I had a continuing
dialogue with the black com- -
munity. We had some lively *
discussions and we some
times found ourselves in *
disagreement, but invariably
we all felt that keeping good
channels of communications
was well worth the effort."
