1988 - BLACKS PROTEST HOSPITAL BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Authored by Eric Eyre, the article below appeared in The Anniston Star on April 12, 1988. It reported on a confrontation during which Black leaders in Randolph County vocalized their discontent with local leaders' refusal to appoint blacks, women, and low-income residents to vacant positions on the county's Hospital Board, and further blasted a Roanoke ambulance driver — Carl Sellers — whom they claimed treated blacks unfairly. The article appears below.
