Abstract:
Griffin Todd details how his experiences working a contracting job repairing concrete sidewalks at East Carolina University reflect the racial bias in public projects. Todd and other black contractors cite a culture of racism in the construction industry which is often played out through complex contract negotiations. This prevents authorities from stepping in and taking action. Todd and others discuss how larger contractors who hire their smaller firms often target them to make up for lost costs and how the state’s university system should better monitor the big firms who are taking advantage of them.

Abstract:
Construction has been the largest industry in the United States for the past four years, and North Carolina has been enjoying better roads, schools, homes, factories, buildings, and utilities. North Carolina's construction contractors are well-equipped to take on the construction of new roads in the highway system. Most of the work on the new roads in the state will be done by builders who are members of the Carolina Branch of the Associated General Contractors of America, headquartered in Charlotte.
