RALEIGH - Black citi
zens in the State of North
Carolina stand to make
greater strides toward total
participation in the econo
mic mainstream now than
at any other time in history,
because of the Holshouser
Administration’s new Af
firmative Action Policy.
That is the opinion of Dr.
Larnie G. Horton, Special
Assistant to the Governor
for Minority Affairs and
Chairman of the Governor’s
Task Force on Equal
Employment Opportunity,
Horton was commenting
on the announcement made
last week by Governor Jim
Holshouser that the admi
nistration was sending its
new Affirmative Action
Plan to the State Personnel
Board for action during
their August 2 meeting,
“In fact,” says Dr.
Horton, “this plan will
open up the processes of
state government to every
one in our society,
including Blacks, Indians,
women and the handicapp
ed, and these are the ones
who have not had that
opportunity until now.
The plan represents
another shingle on the roof
of Holshouser's campaign
vows to assure minorities in
general and Blacks in ment jobs with equal
particular that they would employment opportunities,
have total, across-theboard It further provides that all

tunity as a permanent body
with representatives from
each of the major state
departments,
Horton, who was a key
factor in the formulation of
the plan, said the Task
Force has six, specific,
continuing objectives:
One, to involve represen
tatives from each depart
ment and higher education
in the development and
implementation of equal
employment opportunities.
Two, to review personnel
policies and procedures
relative to the hiring and
promotion of women,
minorities and the handi
capped in state govern
ment.
Three, to recommend
appropriate personnel poli
cies and procedural change
where necessary, relevant
to recruitment, hiring and
promotion of minorities,
women, and the handicap
ped in state government.
