- BIAN003. Biank, Tanya S. “Race
an open issue in Robeson County.” Fayetteville Observer-Times
26 October 1996.
Publication type: Newspaper article
This perceptive article explains racial issues
and attitudes at the time the article was written. Recent concerns it mentions
are a request from the county's black caucus to put a statue of Martin
L. King Jr. on the courthouse steps; requests from white and black school
board members that the Board hire a white principle for Lumberton High
School; and concerns by black leaders that the location of polling places
for the Lumbee River EMC Board of Directors elections discriminates against
blacks. County commissioners and school board members regularly receive
reports with racial breakdowns on employees in various county departments
so that they can answer questions from their constituents.
