A Crisis of Leadership
In Greensboro
There is a profound leadership crisis
in Greensboro. It is reflected in the
land fill issue, the police corrup-
tion issue, the redistricting issue,
the change in early voting issue,
and the looming possibility that
the $5 million energy efficiency
grant (that leverages $25 million)
awarded to Greensboro will be
misused. We must act Now!
All of the arrows of responsibility
point towards our City Council.
At the April 20th Council meeting
one Council member said that the
current Council is the worst one
that Greensboro has ever had.
We do not need a Council that
confuses, misleads, inflames, de-
monizes and seeks to divide peo-
ple. We need a Council that tells
the truth and helps us work
through issues and concerns to the
benefit of all residents.

The Question of Race and Naming the Problem

All Greensboro Race is a difficult issue for many to talk about. Yet, race and racism are
Must Unite deeply embedded in the issues mentioned above and in virtually every
other issue. However, these issues are also not reducible just to race.
“An injustice any- They are not just a matter of blacks vs. whites vs. Latinos. Nor are they
simply just about Republicans vs. Democrats, or liberals vs. conserva-
where is a threat to tives. All of the above are involved. At its core, however, the entire
justice everywhere” community is faced with right vs. wrong and justice vs. injustice.
Dr. MLK Jr. There is also a deep disrespect for democracy. The voices of the com-
munity must be heard. Let us work together until justice is achieved!
