MR. JiMMiE I. BARBER
A&T Professor Only Negro
Elected To Greensboro Cily Council
J mmie I. Barber, veteran
immunity, civic, and religious
leai'er, chalked up another im
?o'tant political win for Ne
?rrc<! in North Carolina last
week when he won election to
the Greensboro City Council.
Barber, director of housing
~.nd an assistant professor at his
lma mater, A&T State Univer
sit" polled 7,038 votes in the
election for a sixth place finish
n the race for seven council
men. He was the only Negro
elected.
By winning his seat, Barber
became the first black council
man in the city since 1963, when
Waldo Faulkner failed to re
gain the place he had held for
four years.
Barber's successful campaign
was due, in part, to the heavy
support he received from the
predominantly- Negro precincts,
although he received more than
representative support from the
white voters.
Immediately after learning of
his election, Barber said that
his energies will be channeled
into helping to continue the
fight against "ghetto and blight
problems in the city." "I owe
my election to my sincere in
volvement with people and
their affairs," he added.
More than 16,405 voters
turned out for the election. Bar
ber's election is cast in the con
text of a drive for broader rep
resentation on the council.
A native of Trenton, N. C.,
he holds degrees from A&T and
New Yoin. University. Barber
is president of the Rowan Bap
tist Sunday School Convention
of North Carolina, chairman of
the housing subcommittee of
the Greensboro Human Rela
tions Commission, member of
the board of directors of the
Greensboro Community Coun
cil, advisor to the Mayor's
Youth Council, and a member
of the planning committee of
the Opportunity Industrial Cen
ter. He is also active in the
Greensboro Chamber of Com
the General Greene Boy Scout
Council.
Barber is married to the for
mer Kathryn Bennett of Enter
prise, Ala. The Barbers have a
daughter. Miss Mary Olivia, a
teacher at Miami-Dade Junior
College.
The original force of Indian
fighters numbered 108,000. To
day there are only two surviv
ing veterans of those wars.
