There are quite a few vocal accuser supporters
in Granville County. The Rev. Gatewood, 2nd
VP of the NC NAACP is the first to come to mind.
There are hundreds of Mangums spread throughout
the Durham, Person and Granville counties. They
go way back. A very interesting history.

Countering conspiracy to disrupt Durham justice
How dare the N.C. Bar Association join the mobs in Durham who have verbally lynched and sought to politically assassinate District Attorney Mike Nifong for seeking to prosecute three white Duke students accused of raping a black NCCU student. And if we are to refer to the lady as a "stripper," allow me to refer to the men as "perverted stripper patrons."
The conspiracy to disrupt justice in this Durham case should be obvious. It is unprecedented that the alleged criminals and their defense team have the luxury of such a media platform to proclaim their "innocence" and attack the prosecutor.
More than 50 percent of the black men packed into the Durham County jail also profess to be innocent. But the media will never allow their cases to be tried in the court of public opinion. Neither will you see any form of outrage when the DA says "they did it." Consequently we find more black men in Central Prison than N.C. Central University.
I challenge the racist media and N.C. Bar Association who wrongfully used their influence to attack the integrity of a prosecutor who is prosecuting a case which has the potential to challenge racism, classism, and sexism simultaneously. Yes, we should demand justice in the courts. We should also remember Malcolm X's point, which says, "If black people can't get justice in the courts, we have to demand justice in the streets."
