Abstract:
The Hoke County Forum was a series of public programs designed to involve citizen participation in a review of the problems confronting the county and its sole community of Raeford. It was sponsored by the Raeford Women’s Club, with the support from the North Carolina Committee for Continuing Education in the Humanities. Some of the major problems addressed by the forum included recreation, race relations, the family, land use and controlled growth, and the authority of local government.
