Web site created in support of Duke rape victim

May 18, 2006

The Triangle Urban League (TUL), the NC Conference of NAACP Branches, along with several Black newspapers in North Carolina, are set to unveil a community-based website that allows people from across the country to express their love, support and concern for the alleged survivor in the Duke lacrosse gang rape case.

Keith Sutton, TUL president/CEO, and Dr. William Barber, NC NAACP president, will make comment on why Black community leaders and the Black Press came together to provide a vehicle by which the survivor can realize that she is not alone.

(snip)

The Black newspapers – The Carolinian of Raleigh, The Carolina Times of Durham, and the Wilmington Journal – signed on to be part of the project’s “Coalition of the Concerned” because of the immense media bias against the survivor.

Because Black newspapers were originally founded as vehicles of advocacy, they are required, by tradition and standard, not only to report to the African-American community, to stand up for their community anytime it is under attack.

Other community-based organizations listed among the Coalition of the Concerned include the NC Black Leadership caucus, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Durham and Vicinity, Andrea Harris, El-Hajj Sheik Kenneth Murray-Muhammad (who passed just this week) and his wife, Sister Margaret Rose Murray-Muhammad.

lol! I've got a notebook with scads of notes! And then newer stuff emerges, I scan my notes which lead to the information I'm requesting, and I've got to somehow stay on focus to maintain focus upon the lead I'm after. But meanwhile reconnecting older "issues" with newer "issues".. and the picture of corruption becomes clearer and clearer.. and I still haven't yet gotten to that one bit that I started with.

yup. lol.
