He was one of the good guys in Wilmington in the 70's, that happended to be black. One of our black visitors was Rev Ben Chavis, who later went to prison, was released by an overturned verdict (polically done) and becam the head of the NAACP, was fired when found paying blackmail money from their funds. (He's problably running some gumt funded ministry now.) Chavis led the Wilmington Ten in an assault on white jewish owned businesses, then holed up in a church.
The window washer became one of Wilmingtons' few black millionaires, with a large cleaning business base! Ain't life grand, when you're willing to fail. I'm not sure how well he was received at the Cape Fear Country club, though!
Nice to meet another Wilmingtonian online. Yes, we also have a lot of Mexican's here too but the ones I know and live around spend most of their days in the fields or along the roadside doing work others wouldn't touch but they have the nicest yard and the most well behaved children. On July 4th they really put on a nice fireworks show for the rest of the neighborhood. Just shows hard work pays off
Hope Single mom catches on soon or the kids will probably grow up the same way...What a shame
