(Photo by Jim Rouse) How blacks have benefited from the Reagan recovery BY JOSEPH PERKINS Jim and Jackie McLean were among seven entrepreneurs honored in January by President Reagan at a special program hosted by U.S. Chamber of Com- merce. In this decade, the McLeans have built their Baltimore-based independent travel service into the largest such enterprise in the state of Maryland. The husband-wife team operates 14 offices in four states and employs more than 100 workers. Their 11-year-old firm—Four Seas and Seven Winds—grossed more than $25 million last year from more than 300 corporate clients, ranking it among the 50 largest black- owned businesses in the country. The 1980s—with a conser- vative, free-market President in the White House—have been go- go years for black entrepreneurs like the McLeans. Indeed, the black economist Andrew Brim- mer estimates that total black business receipts increased to $18.1 billion last year from $12.4 billion in 1982, translating into an annual average growth rate of 7.9 per cent for black businesses since 1982 (compared with 5 per cent for all U.S. businesses). The impressive performance of the black business sector is not an aberration, Indeed, if the state of black America is gauged by ‘positive’ indicators those that measure blacks progress rather than ‘negative’ indicators that measure pathology, the 1980s have been a boom decade for blacks. The success of black enterprise in the 1980s has been so over- whelming that it almost over- shadows black progress in other important areas. In its 1986 listing of the top black companies, ‘Black Enter- prise’ magazine reported ‘record’ growth for most of the firms on its lists. Gross sales for the top 100 black firms rose by nearly 15 ed cent from the previous year, t reported, easily outpacing the growth in the nation’s gross na- tional product and ‘outdistancing the Fortune 500, which grew by a meager 2,8 per cent.‘ The 1980s have seen the rise of a new breed of black en- trepreneurs, atl best represented by Reginald Lewis, (, (Continued on page 2) © Make Your ELECTION ‘88: Vote Count On Nov, 8th! » Give every candidate a fair chance BEFORE making a major purchase, the smart con- sumer shops around. Whether the item being pur- chased is a house, car, television or major appliance, the underlying question to be answered for the con- sumer concerns the quality of service. Usually several things are taken into consideration before the smart consumer makes a final decision about which product to buy. The consumer may read literature on the product and talk with associates who If we are unable to answer the above questio;: about any candidate, we should let someone else put him or her in office. We should not give our vote to anyone just because he or she is-on the ballot, and cer- tainly not just because the party affiliation is the same as ours. If the candidate is a current office holder, we should ask ourselves the following questions: How often did we see this candidate in our commu- have first-hand knowledge of the product -- or the particular brand of prod- uct. The shopper who fails to get:all his questions answered about a particu- lar product before buying ELECTION _ nity or at special events before he or she announced their candidacy for re-election? What do we know about this candidate's per- formance in office? How did he or she vote on '88 it can end up with a lemon of a purchase. Many of us are all too familiar with the term "lemon" as it refers to used car sales. Fortunately, most of us are very particular about where and how we spend our dollars. If we would use the same prudence when we exercise our right to vote, we would have much more responsive legislators. Of course, it is not possible to know everything about every political office seeker. But it is important to know something about the candidate for whom you are voting, and that something must extend beyond the candidate's name and party affiliation. When we vote for legislators and jurists, we are entrusting the people who win with the authority to make decisions about some of the most important aspects of our lives. Therefore it is important that we know as much as possible about the individual who will serve in office. If the candidate is running for office for the first time, we must find out what the person did before run- ning for election. We should ask ourselves the sap questions about first-time office seekers: Was the candidate politically involved What was the candidate's public image before he or she became dependent upon public support? How supportive is, the candidate of those things that we feel are important? Is the candidate discussing his or her position on specific issues openly and so that we are clear on how. , the candidate will vote on a particular issue while in office? issues we consider important? How much of an effort has the candidate made ‘to keep in touch with our community during his or her previous term in office? _. How have we benefitted from having this person in, office? Again, if we can not answer these questions about any candidate, we should let someone else vote them into office, and we should begin to pav much move attention to what our politicians are saying and doing. Their actions and their votes affect our welfare and the welfare of our future generations. Invariably, as election day draws nearer, the politi- cal rhetoric becomes more and more partisan. We should look beyond partisan rhetoric and listen to what is being said to us from both Republican and Democrat candidates. What is the individual candidate saying that he believes in and stands for? Nebulous buzz words like "jobs, peace and progress" are not specific enough. Does the candidate have a well-thought out plan of action? Does he or she deliver a decisive “yes" and o” when asked about a particular issue or is the answer always somewhere in between? It's time we read between the lines and listened between the words when choosing legislators. We should not be swayed by partisan arguments; we owe our allegiance to no one -- Democrat or Republican. This election we should give every candidate a fair shot at our vote whether they are Democrats or Repub- licans, But we must be sure of what we are getting in return. It's time to get the lemons out of office. \ ; Seat A race effects November 8th election Karly endorsement By Michael Garrett This is an exciting and challenging political year for voters in the Afro-American com- munity of Pitt County. Black leaders succeeded in their bid to have the federal government restructure the electorial districts for county commission and school board seats. As a result of that accomplishment, Afro-Americans soon will occupy at least two and maybe three seats on the county commission. Those who are still making deci- sions as to for whom they will vote might do well to review some of the situations the new process that include per- sons who are new candidates. When redistricting was still a proposal, black and the county commissioners on whether or not and greed iw the plan should be implemented. Ap- proval of any plan was needed from the N.C, House tatives before it ted. It was the Pitt County’s ves to make recommendation to the legistlative on any in the voting lines. mtative Tom Dansey, Taft’s opponent, would benefit from such displeasure with bis nial cong although Dansey was : filiated with either side of the issue. Taft took a deliberate political risk by opposing black leaders who sought to increase chances for “yam gy rhe or on the Pitt Boards. Black voters can forgive him or let him know that his decision was weiriaed a led ans candidate for combined District A after D.D. Garrett and James Dupree filed for the same seat.

As a result of the Love campaign, blacks came close to losing their: chances of gaining Seat A. Whatever the personal reasons were, the black community paid an awesome price; two more ex- pensive and difficult elections. Just as Tom Taft took a risk, so did Farney Moore. In supporting Rev. Love in the first primary, Moore gave an indication as to the kind of judgement that he utilizes. Now, black voters will have to decide whether they want a commissioner who helped to divide the black community or one who supported Garrett on the first ballot. Voters are entitled to support whom as they please. Their choice should never be held against them. However, voters who intend to be candidates such as Moore and Rouse must expect to be held accountable for whom they support. As a candidate in a redominately black district, ev. Moore should at least offer voters solid explanations as to why he worked against Commissioner-Elect D.D. Gar- rett. Failure to do so not only will leave an important question in the May 3rd primary, black representation on an important commission seat was at stake. Rev. Love had every right to file and Rev. Moore had every right to support him. But, the best in- terest of the black community would have been more har- moniously realized if Garrett could have at least had no black opposition. For Rev. Moore to be a part of that opposition in May and then remain a candidate in the black community during the same year is a very interesting and bold position for him to take.

Black need unified commissioners on the board or their strength in the commission’s votes will be powerless. If support in the May 3rd primary by black leaders of Pitt County says anything to Afro-American voters it should say that Rouse and Garrett are more likely to become an effec- tive team on the Board of Com- missioners. A Moore-Garrett situation on the commission ap- pears less certain of achieving representation that will be most effective. Jim Rouse and Farney Moore made their choices in the May 3rd primary. Now voters can express whether or not those choices mean anything to them. In as much as their choice will define the effectiveness of black representation on the PCBC, the stakes are again very high and the choice will make a tremen- dous difference on terms of black political power in Pitt County. Attend the Church of Your Choice Sunday!! the black Wall Street attorney who successully orchestrated a $985 million leveraged buyout of Beatrice International two years ago. By 1985, McCall was producing $60 million in sales for TLC Group, and in 1987 Lewis sold the pattern company to a British firm for $95 million, realizing a 95-to-1 return on his initial invest- ment. Lewis used his profits to secure financing from Drexel Burnham for acquisition of Beatrice International, the food manufacturer and distributor. In the 1980s, the most suc- cessful black entrepreneurs are those, like Lewis, who look to the market-place rather than to the government for opportunity. The success of black en- trepreneurs in the 1980s is rival- ed only by the gains of the black middle class. Black social scien- tist Bart Landry, a visiting scholar at the Joint Center for Political Studies, estimates that this upwardly mobile class of blacks has grown by a third in this decade, to 4.8 million in 1988 from 3.6 million in 1980. His definition is based on employ- ment in white-collar jobs as well as on income levels. (Continued on page 12) 15 LB.

Thold this position because the greatest enemy facing the black race in 1988 is the white liberal. Most Republicans are not liberals. The only thing worse than a Democratic liberal is a Republican liberal—and thank heavens, there are only a few of those left. The only thing worse than a white liberal is a black liberal, and the only thing worse than a black liberal is a black opportunist—better known col- lectively as the black elite. I support the Republican party because the key to the American dream is citizenship, with all of its rights and privileges, and also with all of its responsibilities and obligations. With the Republicans, full citizenship for the black race may be possible. With the white Democratic liberal policies, full citizenship for the black race can never be. I support Republicans because I believe that abortion is wrong. I support Republicans because I believe that handing out sex devices in our schools is wrong.

This was a reality because 60 per- cent of all young blacks were employed in black ‘mom and pop‘-owned businesses.

Since transportation Is vital infra- structure to our society, not all of the expense of high- ways should be derived from tax.

One aspect of waste disposal is the reduction of waste substance as yet untouched by government. Hazardous waste disposal must be centralized. Alcohol is still our major drug. Our Society has little concern for it as witness its advertising and its use in typical gatherings. Use of other drugs by the individual begins and develops in the same manner as use of al- cohol.

Is imperative to recycle waste and properly dispose of that waste that cannot be recycled. There are many Opportunities for recycling waste, If there are planned sites designated for this purpose, even those on the low economic scale may find employment. This may assist some of those who are idle and desire gaintul employment. The County Commissioners could ade- quately research this and follow through in an effective manner. Growth for Greenville/Pitt County is heartily welcomed. it, of course, should be planned, orderly growth that the present and future generation will be benefitted and not hampered due to improper planning. | consider the leading agriculture issue in Pitt County is “Tobacco and its Future in Pitt County.” inasmuch and knowledga produc- tlon have proper and adequate input as to tobacco's future is the wisest and most feasible manner to a posi tive and solution. 2 ® c 2 Re ES Et oO # >. si 8 2 rT) c 2 Ba — 4 es je 2 a County Comm JIM ROUSE Republican, Greenville Education: American Institute of Banking, Market- ing and Business Management, Customer Rela- tions; Fisk University, N ile, T ; New York Schoo! of Announcing Career: Publisher and Editor of the “M” Voice Newspaper, Radio Announcer, General Sales Manager/Account Executive.

DARDEN Unaffiliated, Greenville Education: Hampton Institute and East Carolina University Career: Retired from Pitt County Schools as a Vice-Principal The disposal issue should encompass both long range and short range approaches. One immediate goal should be education and mandatory implementation of recycling of all refuse collections both public and pri- vate. Long range solutions could continue recycling and seek State and Federal expertise and funding for research and construction and Legislative passage of State-wide Laws to address uniform disposal standards. Growth for Greenville/Pitt County should be carefully planned. Extensive input from citizens living in af- fected areas should be mandatory in both planning and implementation. The present Sunburst Pattern of development from Greenville outward should be ex- amined and attention given to simultaneous satellite dsvelopment throughout the County to assure equal access to goods and services to ali citizens. Ey When evaluating the issues impacting agriculture 1988, several key topics come to mind.

In this day and time when smear tactics have become common place it is refreshing to find a responsible editor such as Jim Rouse who will correct misleading comments. A man like this certainly has the leadership, fortitude and integri- ty Pitt County desperately needs. I am all for truth in reporting but after reading the corrections I can not help but feel that the cor- rections appear to be utilized more as defense of Ralph Tyson rather than strictly reporting the facts of the incident in question. In reading the retraction of the statements made about the possibility of Sheriff Tyson being senile it reminds me of another incident the Watergate Incident. There is one important fact that never reached print and that is that the entire incident has been turned over to the Governor’s of- fice for further investigation. If the black employees of the Pitt County Sheriff’s Department are subjected to. racial discrimination and segregation that starts at the upper level management and sifts down through the department one can only speculate what discrimina- tion the average black citizen of Pitt County may be subjected to. The vision and progress that Martin Luther King gave his life for in the 1960’s has never gotten started ‘within the Pitt County Sheriff’s Department under Tyson’s 21 year reign as Sheriff. The fact that Tyson is an elected official means that the black community can make changes. We must remember these incidences when we cast our vote for the new Sheriff in the Sheriff’s election. With the elec- tion of D.D. Garrett it should be evident to everyone how much each individual vote counts. Therefore, if we band together we can be instrumental in change within Pitt County particularly the Pitt County Sheriff’s Department.

Blessed is he whose program contains a prayer meeting night. Blessed is the church leader who is not pessimistic. Blessed is he who loves the church before his business. Blessed is he who can walk as fast to a religious service as to town. Blessed is he who invites peo- ple to church and comes along himself. Blessed are those who never gossip about the faults of the church but work to make it better. WHEN IT’S THE OTHER FELLOW Have you ever noticed? When the other fellow acts a certain way, he is ‘ill tempered’; when you do it, it’s ‘nerves’‘. When the other fellow is set in his ways, he’s ‘obstinate‘; when you are it is just ‘firmness’. When the other fellow doesn’t like your friends, he’s ‘prejudic- ed‘; when you don’t like his, you are simply showing that you are a good judge of human nature. When the other fellow tries to treat someone especially well, he is a ‘flatterer‘; when you try the same thing you are using ‘tact’. When the other fellow takes time to do things, he is ‘dead slow‘; when you do it, you are ‘deliberate’. When the other fellow spends a lot he is a ‘spendthrift‘; when you do, you are ‘generous’. When the other fellow holds too tight to his money, he is ‘close‘; when you do, you are ‘prudent’. When the other fellow dresses extra well, he’s a ‘dude‘; when you do, it is simply ‘a duty one owes to society’. When the other fellow runs great risks in business, he is ‘foolhardy‘; when you do, you are a ‘Great Financier‘. When the other fellow says what he thinks, he is ‘spiteful‘; when you do, you are ‘frank’. Once there was a little hand that could do many things It could say ‘Stop‘ It could point to anything it wanted (even though that’s not always polite). It could scratch. It could say ‘Peace’. And it could wave goodbye. It could be strong or very gentle. It could be scary or stand at attention. But it couldn’t make a sound. The hand became dejected and sad. Then something happened— another hand appeared, and there was a wonderful noise. And that just goes to show you that it takes two hands to clap. A TRIBUTE TO MR. D.D. GARRETT Hard work, tenacity, deter- mination, overflowing with a positive attitude, asserting itself warmly and agreeably, were pluses in D.D. Garrett’s victory, not withstanding the rugged, stony road he trodded to gain this milestone here in Pitt County. ‘No one knows what he can do until ne tries‘. Garrett’s footsteps on the sands of time will be left by work shoes‘. Congratulations! We are proud of your accomplishment. God grant you many fulfilling years. Mrs. B.C.

This is the story of four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Somebody would do it, But Nobody asked Anybody. It ended up that the job wasn’t done, and Everybody blamed Everybody, when actually Nobody asked Anybody. that FEBRUARY IS AFRO- AMERICAN MONTH (BLACK HISTORY) This year’s theme: "The Role of Afro-American Churches in Economic, Political, and Social Development at Home and Abroad‘.

Jailed for 21 years Florida man said to is framed By MARK LANE Exclusive to the Amsterdam News Twenty years ago in Arcadia, Fla., an illiterate, Black farm- worker was convicted by an all white jury, after having been charged by a white sheriff and white prosecuting attorney and tried before a white judge of the most heinous crime im- aginable. His name was James Richardson and he was charged with murdering his seven child- ren. I learned about the case from the newspapers and the exten- sive national television coverage. Since I had doubts about the case against Mr. Richardson I moved to Florida in 1968 and spent a year investi- gating the case.

Nothing could be fur- ther from the truth. The higher one rises up the class ladder, the more stable are all families, black and white. ‘In the upper middle class, about two-thirds of all black families are still headed by two parents. The majority have both spouses working full-time, generating combined earnings that translate into a solid middle- class living standard.‘ In the 1980s, adds Landry, ‘More and more blacks are...finding the American Dream within their reach.‘ The rise in black incomes is largely attributable to the ex- plosive growth of jobs over the last five and one-half years.

Thursday—Friday—Saturday | __ . 8 AM to 12 Midnight : that span, total black employ- ment has grown to 11.5 million from 9.2 million, a gain of 2.3 million new jobs! And blacks have benefited disproportionately from the Reagan boom: They gained 15 per cent of the new jobs, even though they account for only 11 per cent of the working-age population. In the meantime, the black jobless rate has been cut by almost half since 1982. At the same time, the black employ- ment rate—the percentage of working-age persons holding jobs—has increased to record levels, from 49 per cent in 1982 to 56 per cent y: Even black teen-agers have profited from the great job boom of the 1980s. Since 1983, some 122,000 young blacks have been added to the job rolls, driving down black teen-age uneinploy- ment by 20 per cent over that THE VERY | Greenville \ | Blacks benefit .......... span. Moreover, the young blacks that choose to work earn virtual- ly as much as whites. The black middle class has also prospered during the current job boom. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reported last year that the number of black managers and officers in corporations with 100 or more employees increased by 30 per cent between 1980 and 1985, to 215,000 from 165,000. Over the same span, the number of black professionals increased by a staggering 63 per cent, to 189,000 from 116,000. The 1980s have also seen the emergency of a cadre of black executies at leading For- tune 1000 companies. Jerry O. Williams, president and chief operating officer of AM International, oversees day-to- day operations for the $1.2-billion concern, which markets and distributes graphic equipment and supplies. He is odds-on favorite to become the first black CEO of a Fortune 500 company. A. Barry Rand, vice president at Xerox, manages a division that produced $4 billion in revenues in 1986. Kenneth L. Chenault, an ex- ecutive vice president at American Express, oversees the company’s Platinum Card/Gold Card division. Robert M. Beavers, a senior vice president at McDonalds, is responsible for 1,600 restaurants in seven regions that account for $2.5 billion in sales. The 1980s have been a decade of opportunity and blacks have been among the _ biggest beneficiaries. Much of the credit must go to Ronald Reagan, who initiated the policies that fostered the economic growth and job creation in the 1980s, and that produced the prosperity that most black Americans enjoy.

Signed Concerned Mother Dear Concerned Mother: Sounds like your child does need further counseling, but maybe you and his father do also. Even though you two are separated, you need to show a united front in terms of your child’s welfare. If there is a responsible adult that your child likes maybe he would open up to him or her. It is certainly possible that the separation from your husband has caused some inner turmoil in your child’s mind. Please don’t ignore the issue as it will not go away. Your child could be crying inside for attention and may be unable to verbalize his needs. Seek competent advice right away. Maria Lovejoy Dear Maria: Iamawidowandhaverecently been hospitalized. My pastor came to visit me everyday at the hospital which I really appreciated. Now thatI am home, his visits are more frequent (twice a day) and he is beginning to share with me some problems that he and his wife are having. I really like the attention that my pastor is giving me because I have been lonely for quite sometime, butI’m afraid that this association may be misunderstood. What should I do? Signed A Lonely Church Member Dear Lonely: You need to be honest with yourself first and then with your pastor. Tell him of your concern about how his frequent visits might look. Hopefully, without any encouragement from you, his visits will be less frequent. As far as your loneliness, maybe you need to get more involved in something useful that gets you around other people or perhaps a hobby such as needlework will help pass the time.

GREENVILLE - Donald Woods, a white South African author and former newspaper editor whose editorial views resulted in his arrest and censorship by his country’s government, willspeak Thursday, Oct. 27, at East Carolina University. Woods, whose experiences in South Africa were portrayed in the movie ‘“‘Cry Freedom,” will discuss his views about the South African racial policy of apartheid at 8 p.m. in Hendrix Theatre in Mendenhall Student Center. The program, sponsored by the ECU Student Forum Committee, is free and open to the public. A descendant of British and Irish pioneers who settled in South Africa in 1820, Woods studied law at the University of Capetown before entering journalism. In 1965 he became editor-in-chief of the Daily Dispatch, a 114-year old South African newspaper and his editorial attacks on the racial policy of apartheid drew increasing fire from the South African government. Woods was prosecuted in court seven times under the country’s strict publication laws restricting criticism of governmental policy. In 1977 he was arrested for publishing details of the killing of his friend, the young black leader Steve Biko. The arrest resulted in his being forbidden to write, to speak publicly, to be quoted in the press and to speak with more than one other person at a time. Three months after his arrest, he escaped with his wife and five children across the border intothe black-ruled country of Lesotho. The family now lives in London where Woods works as a writer, broadcaster and lecturer. } ‘Since leaving South Africa, Woods has written three books about his native country. The books include ““Biko,”’a biography, “Asking for Trouble,’’ an award- - winning autobiography, and “Black and White,”’ about the South African situation. The story of his escape from South Africa, disguised asa priest, has been toldina British television documentary drama recently screened in the U.S. on the Cable News Network. In 1987 he was portrayed by actor Kevin Kline in the move “‘Cry Freedom,” directed by Sir Richard Attenborough, the Academy Award-winning director of “Gandhi.” Since the movie Woods has published two other books, “Filming with Attenborough,” which chronicles the making of movie, and ‘South African Dispatches,” a collection of the editorials he wrote while in South Africa.

Jesse Jackson and Dr. Lenora Fulani. Losing his Presidential primary bid, Rev. Jackson pressed for and Dukakis adopted a policy of ‘‘inclusion, expansion and unity’’ that al- lowed the National Rainbow Coalition leader to go all out in campaigning for the Governor. And in the Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Weekend Sept. 17 keynote address, Jack- son outlined at length why Bush did not and Dukakis did deserve to win. But Dr. Fulani, Presidential candidate of the New Alliance Party has been working hard, not to win or get into the White House, but to defeat Gov. Dukakis.

Both Bush and Dukakis know that whoever wins in November will do so by a slim margin. And the victory will come, not so much as a result of the total na- tional popular vote as by the total of electoral college votes won in each state. Fulani is the first woman and the first African-American ever to be on the Presidential ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. She is strategically deploying her resources in a way to do the greatest damage to the Democrats and Dukakis in selected states. A Sept. 20 statement released by Dr. Fulani’s Committee for Fair Election said her attorneys had filed suit ‘‘in federal court in Washington, D.C. against the Commission on Presidential Working Frustrations Are Only Temporary We need you.

When she was running for Governor of New York in 1986, DEAR DECENT CITIZENS OF PITT COUNTY After repeated attempts with local school personnel to have the state AIDS curriculum modified in keeping with traditional values of local citizens, we have been told that the curriculum may not be modified. We have asked for certain phrases to be included in the curriculum for our children such as: 1. “Sex within marriage” (The term “marriage” never appears in the classroom instruction of the curriculum). 2. Homosexual behaviors defined as abnormal (These practices are also illegal in N. C.) 3. The failure rate for condoms during heterosexual acts (10%) and homosexual acts (50%)* Please contact your elected school board representative and our superintendent and express your concerns. They say that they have heard only from a vocal minority on this issue and indicated that they need to hear from a vocal majority.

West, Jr., Superintendent Pitt County Schools 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, NC 27834 Dear Dr. West: Thank you for the letter acknowledging my attendance of the September 12th meeting of the Pitt County Board of Education. I trust, sir, that after hearing comments from Dr. Cecil Rhodes and the Reverend James Giesey at the September 12th meeting, you do realize that parents of Pitt County's youth are seriously concerned about the AIDS curriculum as it now stands. The amendments that we requested to the curriculum are not unreasonable, However, the response in your letter to me was evasive, to say the least. If you'll look at page “ix"’ of the AIDS curriculum, the Governor's letter, I'm sure you can clearly see why we feel that we are petting the same “‘lip service” from you regarding this issue that the Governor hoped that parents would not receive. The law ( House Bil] 666) calls for “parental involvement’’. not just lip service. Your letter referred to an October meeting at the state level. Apparently you do not understand the workings of a legislative study. The task force may not report their findings to full legislature until such time that another full school year may have passed. We, the concerned parents and citizens of Pitt County, ask that the requested changes be made now. Many ‘ined counties across the state have made amendments to or rewritten sections of the curriculum, You also mentioned the Ad Hoc Instruction Committee of the Pitt County: Board in your letter. Could you please send me a copy of the names and addresses of the persons on that committee? Since you want to hold off on fulfilling our requests until after the legislative findings are in, perha the best plan would be not to let the curriculum into the classrooms of Pitt County untif that time. On the other hand, if you do implement the curriculum as is, rest assured that we, as concerned parents and citizens of Pitt County will be at your door step. Even now, copies of this letter are being circulated throughout the county. A prompt reply to this letter and our requests would be deeply appreciated.
