Abstract:

The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People is holding its biennial election. The committee controls much of the Durham City Council and the Durham Board of Commissioners. No one is quite sure where the group is headed as there are splits between those who want to focus on social action and those who want to focus on economic action. Regardless, the results will determine the black community’s role in Durham’s future.

Abstract:

Radio station WRDU is the Triangle’s most popular station thanks to shock-jocks Steve Reynolds and Kevin Silva. Reynolds and Silva have 169, 000 listeners per week who tune in to their raunchy and controversial show that airs between WRDU’s rock music. Some area residents are offended at their brand of comedy often aimed at women, blacks, ethnic groups, and Southerners. Questions also arise about how long WRDU and the show will stay popular as musical tastes change.
