It was a successful beginning of a dialogue. It helped pull the community together.

It's a birthday present to myself.

People were being evicted because their rents were being raised from $50 to $90 a month. That was a lot of money then.

The Labor Department was on them because they never hired a woman painter.

Durham is beginning to face the same issues any growing community is. Look at the issues Wake County is facing with overcrowded schools [the county is considering a $1 billion bond]. That's an illustration of what can happen.

I think the desired effect has happened here. I think community division was the intent from the beginning, because keep in mind there was nothing set in stone.
