- Appointed by Gov.. Jim
Hunt to the state House in
August 1977, Clement was
defeated in a reelection bid
15 months later and again last
June. A major factor was his
inability to gain the support
of the Durham Comrnittee on
the Affairs of Black People,
the main political voice of the
blaek community in Durham.

Clement is c-onvineed that
what is best for the entire
community directly or indi-
rec'tly strengthens its weakest
links. "Cbnfrontation might
be more fun," he said in a pre.
election ad, "but cooperation
gets the job done."
; He does not suggest gloss-,:
ing over racial problems, but
thinls it's important to ac. .

knowledge that stridei have
been made ; to "accentuate'-
the positive." in his words- '

Clement is a realist - and'"
realism can be a luxury in
politics.- - -'

His appointment to the City
Council will glve him the
opportunity to practice his
positive approach to problem-
solving. , ''At the least it will be
refreshing. At the , most,
Clements may suceeed in,
building bridges of .under-
standing between , Durham
x-atl^-.-

The appointment Monday
of A.J. Howard Clement III to
fill the unexpired term of
Maceo Sloan returns the
Durham City Council to .full
force and enables it to get on
with its busy agenda.

Clement brings to the job
an impressive set of creden-
tials. Though not Durham-
born, he has become Durham-
bred during his two decades
of work and community ser-
vice here.
,'His position as assistant

vlce president and claims
supervisor at North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Co. at-
tests to his business acumen.
His contributions in the poti-
tical, civic, orltural and reli-
gious llfe of our city and state
indicate his feeling of resporr. .

sibility to the larger commu-
nity and his willingness to
serve. :

Clement, a btack, has shown
a courageous independence of
thought and action in recrent
years, an independence which
has cost him dearly in the
political arena.

A civil-rights activist in the
1960s, he gradually became
convinced that racial progress
rested more with cooperation
than confrontation, a stance
unacceptable to some mem-
bers of the black c-ommunitv_
