(Itetohy Talk SaMr-CaMway) BY GENNIFER TAYLOR Special Correspondent Armed with the strongest and most diverse number of delegates going to a national Democratic convention, the North Carolina Jesse Jackson organizers have high hopes of their chances of strongly affecting the issues, platform and who the vice presidential nominee will be during the coming convention in Atlanta, Ga. next week. Forty-one Jackson delegates and alternates will represent North Carolina, by far the largest number Jackson Delegates of black and progressive whites to at tend a national convention of either political party. With Raleigh serving as the political hub of politics in the state, and since the state’s Jackson leadership and campaign head quarters were located here, the Jackson delegation will have six in dividuals representing the Raleigh area. They are Bruce Lightner, Dan Blue, Brad Thompson, Ken Franklin, Clarence Lightner, and Ralph Camp bell, Jr. According to Lightner, Jackson’s state campaign manager, the conven tion promises to be our community’s most significant opportunity to im pact on national and state political agendas. Lightner stated in a recent interview with The CAROLINIAN, “Our contingency has an enormous responsibility, we will be represen ting and articulating tbe issues and concerns of thousands of people who supported the Jackson effort here in North Carolina. It’s a responsibility that we will not take lightly. This con vention is going to be hard work.” During the March primary, Jackson finished second behind Sen. Albert Gore of Tennessee. Gore ultimately was forced out of the race and the Jackson forces became the catalyst of North Carolina presiden (See REV.

Spaulding, who had been accused of fraud against Preston and Peggy Hunter. Spaulding’s attorney, Ralph L.

The plaintiffs had contended that Spaulding and his partner, Grady Perkins, had made secret profits in real estate transactions. Earlier, a Pram CAROLINIAN Sun Report! A Community Economic Development Forum was held recently at Shaw University that focused on the needs of Southeast Raleigh. Over three hundred residents addressed the issue to devise means to continue on-going community confrolled economic activities. The vehicle established to carry out this goal was the Southeast Raleigh Community Economic Development Interium Board of Directors. Thirty seven members that represented businesses, organizations, churches, Chavis-Heights/Downtown East, youth and the Forum planning committee were elected to the board. The major purpose is to establish a community controlled non-profit Development Corporation that works to improve the economic condition of S. E. Raleigh residents and the community as a whole. On June 30, 1968 ten of those members met with City officials, Julian Prosser, director of community development and Greg ‘Szymik, planning department, for an orientation that would proceed a tour of the Southeast Raleigh area. “We (The Board Members) were interested in the City’s plans for the Southeast community, and how residents could play a vital role in helping the City and the community work in closer partnership to realize its mutually beneficial goals,’’ stated Ms. Pat Funderburk, a Community Economic Development Specialist, who is also a resident of Southeast Raleigh. During the orientation, Mr. Prosser and Mr. Szymik, used maps to point out to the group where the City was developing. They then answered many of the Board ° member’s questions and the rout for the tour was very significant in that it gave us a broad picture of Southeast Raleigh and its economic potential. I think we established an understanding with the City that we want to encourage a self-help approach along with the City doing its share such as building roads and other infrastructure, encouraging industrial recruitment as well as minority business development in the area.” “The opportunity for the residents to have an even greater role in shaping the redevelopment of (See ECONOMIC, P 2) juugc uou awai ucu urc iiuiima $10,000 in compensatory damages, according to the plaintiffs’ attorney. The Hunters had charged that in 1981 a corporation owned by Spaulding and Perkins had under taken a real estate transaction unknown to them in which the defen dants made a secret $10,000 profit off a house they were making an effort to buy through their firm. When contacted by The CAROLI NIAN regarding the case, Spaulding stated that he would be willing to comment, but that on the advice of his attorney, did not wish to do so. Spaulding, according to the source, has stated that he had not “seen, talk ed to, or had contact with [the Hunters]... no real estate dealings whatsoever... hadn’t seen the home... didn't know the people involved.’’ (See GEORGE SPAULDING, P. 2) Minority Woman-Owned Business Cited As “Vendor O f The Year” special Te The CAROLINIAN At its recent annual Mini-Fair and Award Luncheon, the Piedmont Minority Supplier Development Council recognized Doris Bennett, owner of ADM Associates, as its 1988 Vendor of the Year.
