The upward spiral in the 
.--overall growth chart for the 

Orsenville ai'ea will no doubt 
surge even more as a  result of 
the anticipated impact of the 
new hospital and medical school 
on the local economy.

While projections and predic­
tions regarding the potential ex­
tent of the impact vary from per­
son to person, several facts are 
avaUable now that point to the 
im m ediate and future im­
portance of the medical situation 
in the community.

An $8,5 million annual payroll 
is already being computed at 
Pitt Memorial Hospitd for an 
employee force of some 825, ac­
c o rd in g  to  h o sp ita l a d ­
ministrator Jack Richardson. 
Staff is available to serve 250 of 
tile hospital’s 370 beds now, 
Richardson reported.

When the i^maining 120 beds 
are  made available according to 
patient needs, the number of 
employees necessary to staff the 
additional beds wUi increase. 
Full utilization of the 370 beds 
will mean an employee staff of 
over 1,100, he said, earning an 
economy-affecting payroll of 
somellSmiliion.

On the medical school side of 
the coin, salaries and wages for 
the current budget year, running 
from July 1 to June 30,1978, will 
amount to $3.9 million, stated 
Dr. Dean Hayefc, director of ad­
missions for the medical school.

Hayek said that for the fiscal 
year Just ended on June 20, 
salaries and wages for medical 
school personnel amounted to 
some $1,8 million.

A safe assumption would be 
that the payrolls of both the 
ho^ ita l and medical school will 
increase in the years to come 
and the subsequent economical 
impact will be reflected in the 
salary advancements.

Construction of the  new 
medical facilities has already 
meant a substantial number of 
jobs and as the complex 
develops, both from the hospital 
and medical school standpoint, 
construction employment will be

struction of the medical com­
plex.

The hospital represents some 
$24 million in overall costs and 
P itt Memorial pays an insurance 
bill of $90,000 compared with 
$32,000 at the old facility. The S24 
million in assets compares with 
$5 million a t the old hospital, 
Richardson pointed out.

Operating costs at the new 
hospital ran approxim ately 
$34,000 per day in the early days 
of occupancy while revenues of 
$40,000 to $45,000 per day were 
projected to meet expenses.

Operatiiig expenses a t the 
m edical school for 1976-77 
amounted to $1.7 million, Hayek 
reported, and $2.5 million is pro­
jected for the current fiscal 
year.

The medical school additions 
a t  the hospital, including 
e m e r g e n c y ,  r a d io l o g y ,  
operating areas, storage, dining 
area, psychiatry section, and the 
front additions to the complex, 
cost r o u ^ y  $5.1 million. Equip­
ment for the various areas of the 
hospital for patient care ac­
tivities will push the overall total 
cost to close to $6,5 million.

The total cost does not in­
clude the muiti-million dollar 
medical science building that 
will be constructed on land 
north of theho^ital.

The economy will be affected 
by the tax revenues generated 
by the new facilities and tax 
values in the area will also 
change as the tax b ^  grows.

Development of the area 
a ro u n d  the  h o sp ita l and 
medical school will place in­
creased demands on local ser­
vices, including utilities, police, 
fire and transit and the cost oi 
added services could mean ad­
justments in the local tax rate.

P ro p e rty  va lues in  the  
medical area no doubt will 
escalate as the development 
continues in the years to come.

People have a great impact 
on the economy and beyond the 
projected employment figures 
for the hospital and medical 
school and the  expec ted  
number of students, doctors 
and other personnel in the next 
eoi^Ie of years, it is specula­
tion a s to just how many people 
will come to Greenville as a

result of the new medical 
faculties.

Currently, approximately 115 
to 120 people are employed at 
the medical school. Of the total, 
51 are  faculty members.

This fail, 23 students are 
enroUed in the medical pro­
gram  and 1978 will see an addi­
tional 32 medical students. The 
figure will increase by another 
32 in 1979, according to Hayek, 
and the freshman class in 1980 
will have at least 32 for an 
overall total at that time of 
some 124 students.

He explained that with the 
beginning of residency pro­
g r a m s  in  p e d i a t r i c s ,  
psychiatry, internal medicine, 
obstetrics and gynecology, and 
surgery, the personnel figures 
involved in the medical school 
will increase by two or three 
times. Most of the residents 
have famUies and that adds to 
the potential number of people

The number of the new peo- 
pie will also be increased by the 
add ition  of post doctora l 
students and ail departments 
will be adding personnel as the 
various programs are  establish­
ed a t the medical school.

The university hopes to be 
able to implement the Ph.D 
training program in 19’̂ ,  the 
admissions official pointed oqt, 
and that will mean more

As th e  hosp ital-m edical 
school becomes more and more 
of a regional center for health 
care, patients will be referred 
here, Richardson said, and 
their stays here will vary ac­
cording to their medical needs. 
In many instances, patients’ 
families will need to stay here 
for varying lengths of time and 
they must be accomodated.

Development of the medical 
school will also mean con­
ferences, visits by medical per- 
sonel and various people who 
will attend meetings a t the new 
faculty.

Richardson also mentioned 
the probabUity of service com­
panies and medical si^pliers 
locating here and specialty 
firms might tend to pick Green- 
vUle as a  site as a  result of the 
health care program.

The hospital currently has 
over 100 doctors bh its staff 
the continued increase in the 
number of doctors wUI have a 
major impact on the economy 
in term s of salary. The hospital 
had 32 doctors on its staff in 
1966, the administrator recall­
ed.

The potential influx of new 
citizens, whether temporary or 
permanent, will affect the hous­
ing market and create new 
home construction and owner­
ship, jiecessitatc the develop­
ment of new apartments, and 
generally create a  need for in­
creased services such as enter­
tainment, restaurants, banks, 
m o te ls , and re c re a t io n a l 
faculties, among other things.

All of the factors relating to 
the new medical complex point 
to increased busmess volume 
for the area.

Neighboring towns should 
also feel the ecc'nr'mJc impact 
of the hospital and medical 
school in terms- of business

volume and new citizens.
Dr. William Laupus, Dean of

t h e c h o o
a c k n o w le d g e d  th a t  th e  
economic impact of the health 
ce.nter is hard to measure but 
he predicted that in three or 
four years, the dollar impact 
may be in the $25 mUIion per 
year category.

The economy wUI be affected. 
To wrist extent, everyone has 
the opportunity to envision and 
speculate.

K  Medical education “ away 
^  from the ivory tower” of the 
U  state 's medical schools Is the 
^  reasoning behind the North 
^  Carolina Area Health Education 
<  Center (AHEC) program, ac- 
'"^cording to Dr. Simmons Patter­

son, executive direc tor of 
Eastern AflEC.

The overall goal of Eastern 
AHEC is “ to improve the quanti­
ty, quality and distribution both 
geographically and by specialty 
of all types of health manpower 
in our region,” Dr. Patterson 
said. This Includes doctors, 
nurses, dentists and those in the 
allied health fields.

Eastern AHIilC is one of nine 
AHEC programs in the state. 
Geographically, it is the largest, 
encompassing 23 counties in nor­
theastern North Carolina. The 
program works with IG com­
munity hospitals and 11 com­
munity colleges and technical In­
stitutes In this area.
! The Eastern region includes 
iNortlihampton, Bertie, Martin, 
I'^ill, Greene, Wayne, Lenoir, 
./ones and Onslow Counties, and 
all counties cast of tliose. The 
h'ospilals Included in the region 
'Jrc Craven County, Lenoir 
ftlem orlal, P i tt  M emorial, 
Wayne Memorial, Albemarle, 
B eaufort County, Chowan^ 
C iartere t G eneral, Onslow 
Memorial, Roanoke-Chowan, 
B|et'tie County, Martin General, 
p'lmgo District, Sea Level, Tyr- 
rdil County and Washington 
C(>unty.

jThe roots of the North

Carolina AHEC program go 
back to the 1960s when a medical 
education program was initiated 
between several community 
hospitals in the state and the 
University of North Carolina 
(UNO Medical School to set up 
intenfslnp programs for fourth- 
year medical students.

In 1969, the state General 
Assembly first allocated funds to 
the UNC School of Medicine for 
the development of graduate and 
undergraduate medical educa­
tion in these affiliated hospitals.

One of the biggest boosts in 
getting a full-scale AHEC pro­
gram  underw ay in North 
Carolina, according to Dr. Pat­
terson, was the release in 1970 of 
a report by the Carnegie Com­
mission on Higher Education. 
This report was an extensive in­
vestigative effort to determine 
the medical needs of the nation 
and It reached several conclu­
sions:

• There was a lack of primary 
health care  manpower, In­
cluding family practice physi­
cians, pediatricians, doctors of 
internal medicine and obstetri­
cians and gynecologists.

• The nation’s poo! of health 
manpower was dedcficlent In 
both its quantity and distribu­
tion. Doctors were not evenly 
divided throughout the country.

• Attention to the maintenance 
of the level of knowledge of prac­
ticing health professionals was 
often neglected. Doctors, nurses 
and others in the health field 
were not adequately keeping up 
with advancements In their 
fields.

• Appropriate practical inter­
relationships between various 
types of health manpower was 

. lacking. A communication gap 
existed between the various 
health care fields.

The Carnegie Report was the 
origin of the term “AHEC” and 
it suggested the use of existing 
community hospital facilities for 
clinical teaching purposes. It led 
to Iho enactment of a federal 
program which, in 1972, granted 
$8.5 million to each of 11 medical 
schools around the nation. UNC 
was one of these schools.

With this five-year grant, UNC 
developed three AHECs, in 
Charlotte, Wilmington and Area 
L, which includes Tarboro, 
Rocky Mount, Wilson and 
Roanoke Rapids.

In 1973, a  group of medical 
consultants studied llie AHEC 
program which had been set up 
by UNC and recommended to 
the Board of Governors of UNC 
that AHEC be expanded. This 
recommendation was adopted 
by the Board of Governors and 
sent to the General Assembly 
which, In April of 1974, ap­
propriated $28.2 million to 
strengthen and expand the North 
Carolina AHEC program.

This money was used to set up 
the existing nine AHECs and In­
cluded $23.5 million for construc­
tion or renovation of health 
education facilities and $4.7 
million for program operations 
and the development of new 
primary care medical residency 
programs.

The General AsHombly ap­
propriated additional funds in

1975 for program appreciation. 
In that year, $2.8 million was 
allocated for AHEC.

In 1977, the American College 
of Physicians cited the North 
Carolina AHEC program as the 
model for similar programs 
throughout the United States.

The Eastern AHEC, winch Is 
based in Greenville, was the last 
of the nine North Carolina 
AHECs to be set up.

In the fall of 1974, according to 
Dr. Patterson, a meeting was 
held to elect the board of direc­
tors and sot up coinmiltccs for 
Eastern AHEC. The board Is 
comprised of representatives 
from participating hospitals, 
health care fields, community 
colleges and technical institutes.

The committees appointed 
made studios of the area, Dr. 
Patterson said, in order to deter­
mine its needs and set up pro­
grams to meet those needs. All 
of these programs were set s:p 
with the main goat in mind: to 
Improve the quantity, quality 
and distribution of health man­
power in the area.

Nine fundamental goals, and 
programs to realize llicm, were 
decided upon:

• Develop a Family Practice 
Residency Program for the 
training of physicians in family 
practice, Including a rotation 
p rog ram  through selected 
hospitals In the Eastern AHEC 
region.

This family practice program 
has already attained accredlla- 
tion and the first clas.s was ad­
mitted in July. It was funded by 

CConllfiuaionpage 4/

AHEC and is being administered 
by the E ast Carolina University 
(ECU) Sdiool of Medicine.

• Develop training rotation for 
students in all health dlciplines 
througli community hospitals, 
phy.sidans’ offices aJid clinics in 
the region as part of medical 
education curriculum.

Medical students are already 
involved in this rotation, in­
cluding nursing and allied health 
students from East Carolina and 
medical, pharmacy, dental and 
public hcalUi students from the 
University of North Carolina.

• Plan, promote and supervise 
continuing education programs 
by means of lectures, sym-. 
p0!3iums and workshops in all 
^sciplines of health care.

These programs, many inter- 
di-sciplinary In nature, are plan­
ned about a year in advance. Dr. 
Pi'itterson said, and are designed 

help doctors, nurses and 
•flf.hers in the healtli care field 

abreast of changes In thefr 
professions. Programs are held 
in the hospitals to Insure max­
imum participation throu^i con­
venience and speakem come 
from both medical schools and 
private practice.

• Support and assist in the 
development of a Family Nurse 
Practitioner program.

Tills program has been set up 
through ECU!s Scliool of Nurs­
ing and is a one-year course for 
experienced nurses.

• Offer technical assistance in 
the development, upgrading and 
m a in te n a n c e  of h o sp ita l 
libraries.

A lib ra ry  technician is 
employed by Eastern AHEC to 
visit the 16 different par­
ticipating hospitals and offer ad- 
rice and assistance for improv­
ing their libraries.

• Offer iedinical assistance 
md consultallon lo licallh care 
jersonijcl.

Eastern AHEC is involved In a 
problem-solving program for the 
health services. For example, if 
a  hospital had a hard time staff­
ing its intensive care unit. 
Eastern AHEC would offer sug­
gestions as to how good intensive 
care nurses could be trained.

• Assist health care agencies 
in delivering quality educational 
programs to meet community 
needs.

The needs of the area arc 
focused upon in developing in- 
house hospital programs to im­
prove health care.
. • Allocate funds and offer 

technical assistance for the plan­
ning and construction of addi­
tions, renovations or alterations 
of community hospitals for 
educational purposes.

These improvements include 
such things as conference 
rooms, classrooms, on-call 
booms for students lo sleep in 
while training, libraries ajid of­
fices for in-service education 
directors.

To date, facilities have been 
com pleted  in New Bern, 
K inston , E liz ab e th  C ity, 
Washington, Plymouth, Wind­
sor, Belhaven and Goldsboro. 
Similar facilities are nearing 
com pletion In G reenville, 
Alioskie, Edenton, Morhead Ci­
ty, Columbia and Jacksonville.

Financial assistance has also 
been given for llie construction 
of an educational component of 
the Aurora Medical Center.

This construction is funded by 
the $23.5 million appropriated by 
the General Assembly in 1974 for 
constniction or renovation of 
health education faculties.

• Allocate audio-visual equip­
ment and services to all 
hospitals in the,region and some 
rural health centers;

Audio-visual packages have 
been provided to all the af­
filiated hospitals, including 
slides, films and projectors and 
a full-time audio-visual employe 
is available to assist in the use of 
tills equipment.

Riglit now. UNC Is the domi­
nant medical sdiool in the 

' Eastern AHEC programs, but 
Dr, Patterson said there is “no 
doubt in my mind that the ECU 
School of Medicine wiJ! be the 

, dominantschoolasitdcVelops.”
! In the past couple of years, the 
1 number of doctors in this part of 
! the state has increased and Dr.
I Patterson said, “We hope that 
I Eastern AHEC has had a lot to 
; do with the increase.” 
j The state’s outstanding AHEC 
program is “a great enticement 

! for docloi’6 to come to North 
Carolina,” Dr. Patterson said.

, "I wish the heck- they had had It 
’ w henlwas coming along.”

CONSULTANT ASSIGNMENT - SUMMER 1978

Description of Tasks and Report

Within the framework of a national effort to assure quality 
vocational education and training programs for minority youth, 
the Legal Defense Fund has developed a North Carolina Project. 
Beginning in the spring of 1977, Robert Valder provided staff 
assistance to the Citizens Committee on the Five Year North 
Carolina State Vocational Education Plan. This Committee 
monitored the development of the state plan that North Carolina 
filed with the U.S. Office of Education (USOE) pursuant to the 
Vocational Education Act of 1976 (VEA) and submitted comments 
to state officials on substantive deficiencies in the Plan, as 
well as inadequacies in the planning process.
We are now ready to institutionalize our concerns, i.e,, to 
fight for structures in North Carolina that will assure access 
by minorities to the training programs which are essential to 
full participation in the economic life of the state. To 
promote this objective we will be engaged in implementing 
strategies simultaneously at the Federal, state and local levels. 
The major activity in this new phase will be the filing of a 
Federal complaint in which we will charge that USOE approved 
a plan from North Carolina which violates specific mandates of 
VEA. This will be one of a series of complaints through which 
we will seek initially to impact on USOE’s performance and 
eventually to seek Congressional remedies for weaknesses in the 
current legislation. After filing the complaint, we will be 
engaged in efforts in Washington and in North Carolina to bring 
the state into compliance with the law, as well as with new

Contributions are deductible for U.S. income tax purposes



Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978

administrative regulations that will be promulgated pursuant 
to the consent order affecting the vocational education aspects 
of Adams v. Califano.
The objective of the grassroots project, to be launched in the 
fall in selected counties in Eastern North Carolina, will be to 
mobilize citizens in a comprehensive effort to enhance the eco­
nomic status of blacks by challenging discrimination in vocational 
and training programs. We have chosen to focus on the eastern 
region for the following reasons:

1. It contains a large number of counties that are 
heavily black and poor and where blacks are eager
to secure economic advantages from their potentially 
powerful political base.

2. We are convinced that an attack on poverty and lack 
of opportunity in nonmetropolitan areas of the South 
could reach blacks whose needs are largely bypassed 
in national strategies and is key to the enhancement 
nationally of the economic status of blacks.

3. An economy of effort could be achieved if projects 
with clearly defined educational objectives are 
"piggy-backed" on to larger economic development 
plans. Action projects which exemplify a targeted 
focus on areas of emerging economic opportunity offer 
more promise for nonmetropolitan areas than generalized 
projects.

Your assignment, broadly defined, will be to review vocational 
education and training programs - and planning for them - within 
the larger context of planning for long-range economic develop­
ment and projections for manpower in Eastern North Carolina.
The specific information and insights which you will gather for 
us will strengthen our complaint and provide the knowledge base 
on which we will develop our community action project. The 
following is a description of the reports which we will expect 
to receive from you by the end of the summer.
I . The first draft of the complaint that LDF and the Citizens' 

Committee will submit to the U.S. Office of Education
Information and instruction which you will need will 
come from the following sources:
1, Before he leaves on vacation. Bob Valder will turn 

over to you the appropriate documents from his file 
and will brief you on developments.



Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978

The Citizens' Committee will play a major role 
in determining the issues which should be addressed 
in the complaint and the message which the complaint 
should communicate. Bob will brief you on the com­
mittee’s thinking to date and will create a process 
which will enable you to maintain a relationship 
with key committee members in his absence, if they 
have assignments which should be turned over to you.
Visits to agencies which Bob will specify will fill 
in gaps of information. Since committee members 
have had sessions with officials of many agencies, 
you will not be expected to go over that ground again. 
The purpose of your visits will be to document our 
charge that the North Carolina Plan does not reflect, 
or build in, coordination with key agencies whose 
involvement is essential for an effective, long-range 
effort to restructure vocational education pursuant 
to the 1976 Act. Bob had mentioned Employment 
Security Commission, Apprenticeship Division, CETA, 
and industrial training in the Community College 
System. However, visits may not be required if new 
information is not needed.

4, Some of the information which you will be compiling 
under II below will be relevant to the complaint.

5. When Phyllis McClure returns from vacation early in 
July, she will arrange to visit you in Raleigh to 
prepare with you the outline which you should follow 
in drafting the complaint. Mike Smith should also 
be involved in that session, at least for part of 
the time, since he will be preparing the chapter on 
funding,

B. This first draft should be ready by August 1. This will 
give Phyllis and Bob a chance to review it prior to a 
meeting with the Citizens' Committee which they may wish 
to schedule before you leave for vacation on August 13.

Report on new, emerging and expanding areas of economic acti­
vity in Eastern North Carolina that should influence decisions 
re the conceptualization, location, launching and implementa­
tion of training programs. What are the prospects for new 
job opportunities in the ’80s that should shape training 
programs today? This report should cover new and/or expanding 
industries and service institutions (we have a special inter­
est in East Carolina University as an employer) and public



Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978

works projects. In the final report Bob will add a chapter 
on public and private employers involved as defendants in 
employment discrimination litigation and the prospects for 
court-orders mandating affirmative steps to increase the 
hiring and upgrading of minorities.
A. The report should address the following kinds of questions:

1. What is the relative economic status of Eastern 
North Carolina today and what priority does it 
have in the state's overall planning and projec­
tions for economic growth? Are the poor of the 
Eastern counties to be "rehabilitated in place" 
through development programs, or is outmigration 
the official solution for their poverty?

2. What are the key areas for growth and what kinds 
of economic activities are projected? We would 
like as full a list as possible of new and ex­
panding industries and public works projects.
We are also interested in the economic dimension 
and employment implications of the expansion of 
service institutions like East Carolina University 
and its network of area health education centers.

3. What are the manpower implications of the above, 
i.e., new kinds of skills needed; and whether 
skilled manpower is already available or will have 
to be imported or trained? How does the education 
establishment relate significantly to economic 
development in an area which has for generations 
manifested patterns of economic distress that 
impact disproportionately on blacks?

4. Cast of characters: agencies, officials, public
and private who are making key decisions re economic 
development, manpower, training.

5. Resources available to black citizens who are trying 
to understand and relate to the larger economic de­
velopment scene and to set their own program ob­
jectives within this context. Are the think-tanks, 
research institutes, universities, public service 
programs, etc., in North Carolina available to 
blacks who are ready to take a long look ahead
and take steps now that could assure that today's 
youth are getting the training for tomorrow's jobs?

B. Suggested interviews, contacts, sources of information, 
studies, data:

Development

C. We would like to have this report around Labor Day. I
suggest that you draft reports of agency visits and indivi­
dual interviews and analyze materials promptly although 
you may wish to wait to have the final version typed as 
you prepare your consultant's report. (I find that I 
often go back and edit a visit report when later infor­
mation confirms or challenges my first insights.) Phyllis 
will want to review your reports to date when she visits 
you in July. Before you go on vacation August 13 Bob 
will want to see them and to discuss with you the outline 
of your report which you could finish when you return. 
Actually, the final report could be a series of interview/ 
visit reports with a long overview chapter which summarizes 
whatever research you have discovered, along with your 
findings.

III. Memorandum to this Division with recommendations for targets.
Whereas Report TI should be factual and analytical and a 
summary of what you have learned from your research and 
from others, we would welcome your personal observations 
and recommendations based on your knowledge of the state, 
the resistances within certain bureaucracies and the urgent



Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978

needs of black folks. By early fall we will have to 
decide where to concentrate our efforts in Eastern 
North Carolina. With very modest resources, where can 
we make a difference? What criteria should we use as 
we select areas for grassroots activity? What should 
be the nature and scope of state level work to back up 
our local community action projects?

MAXTON — C am pbell Soup Co. officials fo rm ally  a n ­
nounced Monday th a t construction has begun on a food 
distribu tion  c en te r  n e a r  he re  th a t is expected  to  be fol­
lowed by a soup production plan t em ploying a s  m any as 
1,100 pe rsons by 1986.

H arold A. Shaub, C am pbell presiden t, told 200 luncheon 
guests he re  th a t the  soup p lan t would add a n  e stim a te d  $50 
m illion annually  to  the  econom ies of Robesoo,-Scotland and 
H oke counties. He said the  p lan t would use a s  much  locally  
grown produce as possible.

Gov. J a m e s  B. Hunt J r .  sa id  the  Cam pbell p lan t would 
help -dissuade young residen ts  of the  th ree-county a re a  
from  leaving hom e to  find jobs in cities.

“ T his distribution-production facility  is going to  change 
this a re a  — for the  b e tte r .”  H unt said. “ I t will u ltim ately  
m ean  about 1,100 m ore  jobs, with a  c ap ita l investm ent of 
$250 million. And th a t’s  ju s t the surface  benefit. T here  will 
be m ore  new houses built, and b e tter  paychecks c om ing in, 
and a b e tte r  quality  of life for people in these  counties 
h e re .”

Shaub said 65 persons would be em ployed a t the  250,000- 
square-foot distribu tion  cen te r th a t, by early  1979, would 
begin distribu ting  a v a rie ty  of Cam pbell p roducts through­
out the  Southeast. Construction a lready  has begun on the 
340-acre site  tw o m iles north  of M axton on the  L um ber 
R iver.

M axton is in w estern  Robeson County, six m iles from  the 
Scotland County s e a t of Laurinburg,

b a r r in g  ano ther recession, Shaub said, Cam pbell will 
begin construction  a t the sam e site  in the  ea r ly  1980s on i t s ' 
six th  soup production and canning p lan t, a  planned one- 
m illion-square-foot facility . He said the  firm  recen tly  ex­
erc ised  an option to buy an additional 731 a c res  tha t would 
be used for w aste  trea tm en t.

Shaub said C am pbell officidls scouted four o the r s ta te s

The Legal Defense Fund (LDF) is deeply concerned about the 
status of blacks in small cities and rural areas of the South that 
have been largely bypassed by the civil rights movement. The de­
segregation of public accommodations was an historic but often only 

a symbolic victory for the millions of black people whose economic 
plight rendered this a meaningless gain. Schools were desegregated 
but new patterns - the so-called, second generation problems - have 
become institutionalized. Tracking procedures# the disproportionate 
suspension and expulsion of blacks and the increase use of discipline 
centers for students labeled deviant have produced segregated classes 
even within desegregated systems. The demise of the black principal 
and the loss of black teachers through attrition have withdrawn 
what had once been the most assured source of black leadership in 
small southern towns. The number of black elected officials has 
risen dramatically but the exercise of black political power has
often not been translated into material benefits for black commu'a -  1^

shared equitably in the region's economic development.
We have decided to target some of our resources to the non­

metropolian South in a comprehensive and sustained effort to ad­
dress problems confronted by black citizens. We approach this task 
with the following convictions based on our experience:

1. Priority must be given to enhancing the economic 
status of average black persons. The increasing.ly

p i V



more visible black middle class in the South - the 
young, educated, upwardly mobile beneficiaries of 

the progress in civil rights since 1964 - must not 
camouflage the despair of those families whose economic 
situation has deteriorated.

2. Civil rights problems must be defined in terms of 
their mutual interrelationship. The denial of equal 
educational opportunity during youth limits one's 
ability to become credentialed and affects employ- 
ability throughout life. Job discrimination as a 
major contributor to economic insecurity restricts 
black purchasing power for vital health services 
and good housing. Discrimination in access to de­
cent housing and quality health care contributes to 
the social situations which are frequently cited 
to justify white resistance to school integration.

3. Strategies to enhance the economic status of black 
people must be designed to reflect this interre­
lationship. Too often, and usually because of 
financial constraints, we have launched single­
issue projects, although a true economy of effort 
might have been reached in the long run from mul­
tiple strategies to seek a quantum leap forward.
We believe that a vigorous, coordinated and sus-

- 2 -



tained attack on racial discrimination in nonmetro- 
poLian areas will have a profound economic impact.

A comprehensive approach must address: the exclusion
of blacks from key policy-making bodies, especially 
those with responsibility for planning and economic 
development; denial of access to training; employment 
discrimination; exclusion from quality moderate-priced 
housing by developers, realtors and Federally-funded 
providers of housing; denial of equal access to health, 
extension and municipal services, to credit and to 

business opportunities.
4, Strategies to enhance the economic status of blacks 

should build on promising trends on the larger scene, 

especially where the economic development of an area 
is anticipated through new and expanding industries 
or institutions, or through public works projects.

LDF's Division of Legal Information and Community Service pro­
poses a major focus on Eastern North Carolina. Thirty of the 43 
counties that we have identified as ’’Eastern" have populations 
which are at least one-third black; some of these are among the 
poorest counties in the nation. In 36 of them, more than half 
the black population is poor. Two-thirds of black persons in 16 
counties have incomes below the poverty line. (see attachments 
1 and 2) At a consultation with black leaders from Eastern North

- 3 -



Carolina last October, LDP representatives received reports of dis­
crimination in every area of community life.

Yet there are some developments which hold promise, if blacks 
organize to take advantage of them. Industrial development is 
projected. East Carolina University is becoming a major force in 
area economic growth, as well as in the enlargement of health man­
power and the restructuring of health care delivery systems. (see 
attachments 3 and 4) Jones County, which is 45% black and 65% of 
whose black citizens are poor, now has black public officials - 
as deputy sheriffs and principals as well as members of the county 
commission and of town, planning, elections, recreation and school 
boards. Major private and public employers are defendants in litiga­

tion to eliminate patterns of discrimination. All of North Carolina's 
community colleges, technical institutes, vocational schools and 
universities are implementing plans designed pursuant to Federal 
statutes and guidelines to assure equal opportunities for minorities, 
women and the handicapped.

Phase I, for which we are seeking a grant from the Babcock 
Foundation, will be an action-research and community organization 
project. Beginning in May 1978, our efforts during the first 
months will be largely focused on challenging discrimination in 
vocational education and manpower training programs. Our concern 
will be to assure accountability of state and local agencies in 
Eastern North Carolina to their legal mandate to target funds to

- 4 -



areas and to persons whose needs demand priority attention. We are 
beginning with the training of minority youth as the issue around 
which we will cluster other activities because of the seriousness 
of the minority teenage unemployment problem and because we are 
already deeply involved in statelevel monitoring of North Carolina's 

Five Year Vocational Education Plan, as part of a national project. 
However, we do not intend to concentrate on vocational training in 
isolation. We are committed to a rationale of comprehensive and 
multistrategy approaches to civil rights programming. Furthermore, 
we are intrigued by John U. Ogbu's thesis, as reported by the 
Carnegie Council on Children's release of his new book, that it 
is the discouraging economic reality of most adult blacks' lives 
which shapes children's skills and attitudes. Since schools rein­
force society's message to adult blacks that there is a ceiling on 
levels of income, status, power and dignity which can be reached, 
black students will persist and succeed in school only when they 
perceive realistically that education pays off in later life. Our 

objective will be to Involve black leadership in assuring training 
opportunities for youth as a specific point of intervention while 
they as adults are changing the total situation in their communities.

PHASE I ACTION RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION
I. The First Three Months

A. Compilation and organization of information into



action-relevant pac]^ages for blacks.
Demographic data. Considerable data about Eastern 
North Carolina already exist in official documents 
of state and Federal agencies, in studies by re­
search institutes and universities and in reports 
of private advocacy groups. One of our first tasks 

will be to put already available information into 
a form which will be useful to grassroots organiza­
tions.

2. Information about planning and policy-making bodies 
in the area that play a key role in economic develop­
ment and manpower programs,. We shall be particularly 
interested in the prime sponsors for manpower pro­
grams and in the Regional Councils of Government 
in the area, (see attachment 5) These consortia 
of city and county governments are leading region­
al bodies for planning, development and manpower. 

ĵ C- 0*^ Each has a Regional Manpower Advisory Council. In
our fact-finding we will be interested in the com­
position of these bodies, the criteria for their 
decisions, who benefits, the source and amount 
of funds under their control and how black con­
cerns can get on their agendas.

3• Information about economic development plans, new

and expanding industries, major job providers in 

the private and public sectorso We shall document 

the role of state agencies in development; kinds 
of jobs current and projected in private industry 
and the existing racial patterns in key firms; and 
current and anticipated projections for employment 
in public agencies and educational institutions.
We shall devote special attention to health manpower 

Uc-- projections, not only because this is a growing field 

nationally but also because the increase in black 

practioners at all levels could definitely impact 

on the health care delivery system's outreach to 

black people.

4. Information about training programs. In our
monitoring of the state's Five Year Plan, we have 
already compiled voluminous data on vocational 

education programs and classes. We shall update 
these data; review the state plan and the second 
annual plan to ascertain whether programs are 
relevant to anticipated manpower needs and 
document black enrollment. We also intend to 
get information on projects through the CETA amend­
ments of 1977 (The Youth Employment and Demonstra­
tion Projects Act). Community colleges play a 
vital role in the state industrial training pro-



+ Co

gram. We have already discovered that this program 
apparently does not serve the East adequately.- The 
Asheville-Buncomhe Technical Institute received 
1748 trainees in 1977-78, in comparison with the.
972 for all of the eastern counties together. (see 

attachment 6 ) Because of our interest in health 
professions, we shall focus on minority enrollment 
at East Carolina University (see attachment 7) 
which cited the high infant mortality and suicide 
rates, low doctor-patient ratios and the general 
inadequacy of health facilities in the East as 
justification for opening a new medical school 
with a focus on training for family medicine.

B. Identification of resources in public and private agencies, 
educational institutions and in the black community.

II. Midsummer Worlcshop for Black Leaders

A topic such as "Training Black Youth Now for Eastern North 
Carolina's Economic Opportunities in the 80's" should provide 
the focus around which we could share the information we have 
compiled and discuss strategies. Black participation on planning 
and policy-making bodies and efforts to address the larger com­
munity issues would also be on the agenda.

III. Area Projects. By midsummer we will have identified 3 areas 
(counties or multicounty areas) for indepth concentration for



9 -

the following nine months, with consideration given to the follow­
ing criteria: high black population ratio; good potential for
black leadership; counties in the impact area of new industries 

or expanding institutions; counties near resources, especially 
from universities. Greenville will undoubtedly be the center for 
one of our area projects. Building upon what we have learned from 

our fact-finding and the conference, we plan to develop comprehen­
sive community action projects which will address a mix of issues 
to be determined by local people: schools, jobs, housing, health, 
municipal services, communications, degree to which institutions 
respond to black needs (e.g. extension. Area Health Education 
Centers, continuing education) etc. LDF's role will be to provide 
staff assistance to these projects, looking forward to phasing out 
our intensive involvement to that of a backup center in Charlotte. 
Our philosophy is that public and private agencies should be ac­
countable to black citizens in their service area. Our role as 
interveners is that of a catalyst to promote this, accountability. 
Once this begins to take place, we should shift our role. By 
early summer 1979, we hope to be in a position to redefine our 
relationship to these action groups.

Memorandiiin
To: Jean Fairfax

From: Bob valder

Date: March 16, 1978

Enclosed is a copy of part of a book I have. I'm mailing 
only the front cover and the pages that deal with North Carolina.

These Economic Development Districts are different from the 
Council of Government districts I sent you. They are the ones 
we dealt with in the Waterway report.

Also enclosed is a copy of a letter from Alex Willingham 
which explains the agencies a little bit and a copy of "Economic 
Development Entities" which Alex sent me.

It is my guess we need to look into these agencies when we 
research the East.

Bob Valder 
Regional Director 
Legal Defense Fund 
700 E. Independence Plaza 
Building
Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 
Dear Bob:
In Epes we agreed to send you some information we have about planning 
agencies in the southern states. Our information is now limited to two types•of agencies:

l) Economic Development Agency sanctioned multi-county planning
commissions in the eight-state Southeast region. This information 
was solicited from the Civil Rights division of the regional 
office and rechecked for accuracy regarding black members 
thirough letters to the executive directors of each commission©
¥e have identified a universe of approximately 330 black 
members (out of approximately n k 7 ) which we believe to be accurate to August, 1976.

2} The second type is the semi-public development commissions 
in each of eleven southern states. At this point it appears 
that each of the eleven states has some kind of "development 
office" or "Industry hunting" agency. These each have a 
citizens commission. As we noted in Epes, the North Carolina 
situation is currently in flux and in Louisiana they are 
currently searching for a new director.

Enclosed please find a copy of EDA's Directory of Economic Development 
istriets and Area Grantees and the names and addresses of Executive 
ireotors of state-level planning commissions in eleven southern states.

 ̂ trying to assess the impact of increasai black participation in southern institutions. ¥e are trying
reference to their role in social development in the region, 

ihis includes both questions concerning hlacfc presence at policy making 
levels, as well as the extent to which such presence makes a difference.



Bob Valder 
J\one 3, 1977 
Page two
We have been proceeding against numerous obstacles. Aside from organizatinal- 
institutional problems (e.g. funding, released time, etc.) we have found 
the planning context to be incredibly complex. There are sub-state, 
multi-state, and state-level agencies, for exmaple, as well as special 
agencies, not sanctioned by EDA, These different groups seem not to be 
tied together with anything moi« than the perfomance of A-95 Review, if 
at all. Still more, there are an array of private development initiatives 
by such groups as the state and local Chambers. Our basic research 
question then is complicated by this condition and any conclusions about 
black involvement should be held cautiously until some of this has been 
cleared up. For that reason we appreciate your concern and the possibility of cooperating.
We expect to complete recording our data this Summer and to begin analysis.
We are several months behind schedule now however. As these data are 
codified we will be willing to provide you with whatever you may find useful.
Finally one of the things we had planned to do was to relate our survey 
of attitudes of black members to the actual planning "thrust'* of the 
agencies. For that reason we would need a variety of information including 
plans, budgets, etc. which you will apparently be collecting. We would be 
most appreciative if you could make your request in such a way as to cover 
the area we are concerned with and to share your results with us.
I hope all continues well. 
Sincerely

Ay
Alex^Willingham

From: Bob Valder

Date: July 25, 1979

Enclosed is a copy of the job description which I mailed to 
John Taylor on Friday, July 13, Since Susie was not in that day 
a non-secretarial friend volunteered to type it.

When you asked Susie about it on the phone yesterday she was 
transcribing some dictation concerning some Babcock and John Taylor 
matters. She mistakenly thought you were referring to what she was 
typing which is why she said she was typing it at that time.

Memorandum

Charles Becton 
Julius Chambers 
Jean Fairfax

Date: December 21, 1977

From: Bob Valder

A group of us including the Rev. Leon White met the other 
night to plan a "Communications Project" for selected areas 
in North Carolina in 1978.

The purpose of this memo is only to tell you that we have 
selected a time and place for a general session to which we 
will invite a bunch of folks. More details about the rationale 
behind this project, what we are doing and what we hope to do at 
the next meeting will be forthcoming later.

For now, however, please put on your calendar the fact that 
the meeting will be in Greenville, North Carolina (one reason for 
the Greenville site is because there is a T.V. station there which 
is the only T.V. station covering a large part of the state and 
that station is apparently terrible —  also, it is owned by the 
same family that owns the station in Richmond —  OTVR —  where we 
are having a hearing).

Please put the following on your calendar, more information 
later. The meeting will be held somewhere in Greenville on January 
28, 1978 beginning at about 10:00 a.m.

How in hell did we overlook discussing the entire issue 
of communications —  programming and employment by radio and 
T.V. stations in Eastern North Carolina.

Friday Lauds Med School
CHAPEL HILL -  Univer­

sity of North Carolina presi­
dent William Friday said the 
E as t Carolina University 
School of Medicine has an 
“enormous” opportunity to 
serve North Carolina.

According to the man who 
heads the 16-campus univer­
sity system, “the university

be met in full measure.”
The UNC official said, “For 

the U niversity of North 
Carolina, and on behalf of all 
of my collegues, I extend 
warmest congratulations to

chancellor (Leo) Jenkins, 
vice-chancellor (Ed) Monroe, 
Dean (William) Laupus, and 
all of their collegues on this 
historic day,” the opening of 
the four-year school of

According to Friday, “the 
new hospital (Pitt Memorial 
Hospital) stands as a splend- 
ed example of cooperative ac­
tivity between the university 
and the county governmental 
structure, to insure that our 
citizens are provided ade­
quate medical care. It is a 
splended achievement in 
which we all take great 
pride,” he added.

Friday emphasized, “My

office has been and will con­
tinue to be as fully supportive 
of the medical school as we 
can be.

“We look toward to many 
y e a r s  o f p r o d u c t i v e  
endeavor.”

The Board of Governors 
authorized the development 
of a  four-year school of 
m e d ic in e  a t  E CU  in  
November 1974 after Friday 
told the board’s joint plann­
ing and finance committee 
that it would be a  better use of 
money to expand ECU’s one- 
year medical program to a 
four-year degree granting 
school, rather than expand

Dear Mr. Alphran:

I have rea<3 your March 7 letter to Julius an(3 his March 20 
letter to you.

There is a very good possibility that we will be conducting 
the kind of survey referred to in your letter, we think we will 
know for sure around the end of April. If we do conduct it Bertie 
County will definitely be surveyed. Gates will probably be surveyed. 
We have not yet determined which counties we are going to survey.
If we do this we hope to have it completed by the middle or end of 
this summer.

I will let you know something more definite * later. In the 
meantime, could you send me one of the survey questionnaires you 
referred to in your letter to Julius?

Sincerely,

6b Valder
Regional Director

Dear Julius,

It was good seeing you again at the last executive committee 
meeting. It occurred to me later that you might be able to assist 
us on a project we are about to undertake.

The project will focus on surveying majority Black coimties 
in the rural South, which lack Black elected officials at the county 
level. With assistance of people in the local communities, we hope 
to survey patterns of discrimination in education, housing, voting, 
employment, administration of Justice, use of public, facilities and 
accomodations and access to media. It is important to us that local 
people who are most familiar with, these problems be involved in con­
ducting this survey. In North Garolinajwe will be looking at Gates 
and Bertie counties. Do you happen to know of someone in that part , 
of the state who could conduct the surveys for us.

We will be able to provide a small stipend of $25.00 for each 
county surveyed, which Includes any transportation cost. Within 
the next week the survey questionnaire will be ready for distribution. 
Please let me know if you can think of anyone who would be inspired 
to help us.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again at the next executive 
committee meeting.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Derek M, Alphran 
Executive Assistant
