While West has merely invited reporters to come to him, Victoria Peterson, a woman who has long aspired to be a Durham political player, has charged into the fray, appointing herself a spokeswoman and defender.
When cameras gather, Peterson is there, sharply attired in a summer dress and matching hat. Whether anyone with a press pass wants to listen, Peterson is heard.
"Excuse me, we would like to do a press conference if anybody would like to listen to what some of the African-American women of this community have to say," Peterson said as reporters and TV cameras turned to follow a lawyer downstairs after a June hearing.
Three reporters finally stopped and took notes as Peterson talked about rape statistics in Durham.
Peterson, 52, said she is a watchdog, not a publicity hound.

The N & O writer omitted Victoria Peterson's alignment with the NBP.

Shabazz was flanked by Durham school board member Jacqueline Wagstaff and perennial political candidate Victoria Peterson. A handful of students from N.C. Central University, where the accuser is an honor student, were also in attendance.

"Victoria Peterson presented statistics that show over 80 rape cases that have occurred in that part of town, with five of them taking place on the campus of Duke. “You talk about the Panthers being dangerous, but this university is a danger to the people of Durham,” she contended.

"How do you find the two defendants in this case?" Shabazz shouted.
"Guilty," the crowd shouted back.
About 30 local residents participated, including school board member Jackie Wagstaff and activist Victoria Peterson.
