April 24, 2001 - Rev. Leon Sullivan Dies At Age 78
By Heath Harrison
July 14, 2013
A pioneer in the civil rights movement and one of the key players in ending South Africa's apartheid system, there have been few West Virginia natives as distinguished and accomplished as the Rev. Leon Sullivan.
Born October 16, 1922, Sullivan grew up in the Washington Court neighborhood of Charleston, an unpaved, dirt alley in one of the city's poorest sections.
Sullivan's mother worked as an elevator operator. His father was a janitor at the Virginian Theater on nearby Lee Street. His parents divorced when he was three, and, as a child, Sullivan supported himself as a child by collecting discarded bottles and reselling them.
He spoke frequently of his experience growing up as an African-American in a segregated community, and being forced to walk on "the colored side of the street."
Sullivan said one of the defining moments of his life occurred at the age of 8, when he tried to sit down and buy a soda at a white lunch counter in a Capitol Street pharmacy.
In his 1969 memoir, he recalled the clerk saying to him, "Stand on your feet, black boy, you can't sit down here."
"It was then I decided I was going to stand against that kind of thing for the rest of my life," Sullivan said of the incident.
Sullivan attended Charleston's Garnet High School for blacks and won a basketball and football scholarship to West Virginia State College (an all-black school at the time) in 1939. However, an injury ended his athletic career and he paid his way through college by working in a local steel mill.
Sullivan became a Baptist minister at the age of 18 and worked part-time in the church while in college. In 1943, minister Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. visited Charleston. Sullivan was convinced by Powell to move to New York to attend the Union Theological Seminary. There, he served as Powell's assistant minister at the Abyssinnian Baptist Church.
While in New York, Sullivan took on his first major role in the civil rights movement, by helping to organize a march on Washington, D.C. in the early 1940s. In 1950, he moved to Philadelphia, where he took over the Zion Baptist Church, which grew exponentially under his leadership and became one of the nation's largest congregations. There, he began organizing for civil rights in the region.
Sullivan believed that the key to overcoming poverty and oppression was to provide the tools for people to help themselves. Facing few positive responses from companies to his proposals, Sullivan organized the "selective patronage" movement, in which African-Americans boycotted businesses who would not hire from their community. "Don't buy where you don't work," was the campaign's slogan. As Philadelphia had a 20 percent black population, the boycott's impact was felt and the campaign was a success.
The boycotts were so effective that they were noticed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who met with Sullivan for organizing advice for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's efforts.
Another of Sullivan's initiatives was the creation of Opportunities Industrialization Centers (OIC), community centers which provided job and life skills to their graduates. The first OIC center was launched in Philadelphia. The second was located in Sullivan's birthplace of Charleston.
In 1971, Sullivan was asked to join the board of General Motors, serving as the first African-American on the board of a major corporation. He held the position for 20 years.
In 1977, Sullivan focused his efforts on ending South Africa's apartheid system of racial segregation, developing the Sullivan Principles. The principles served as a code of conduct for companies doing business, with regards to race both inside and outside the workplace. The principles were directly at odds with the apartheid system.
Sullivan used his position at GM to successfully lobby the company as well as others to stop doing business with South Africa under apartheid.
"Starting with the work place, I tightened the screws step by step and raised the bar step by step," Sullivan said of his approach. "Eventually, I got to the point where I said that companies must practice corporate civil disobedience against the laws and I threatened South Africa and said, in two years, Mandela must be freed, apartheid must end, and blacks must vote or else I'll bring every American company I can out of South Africa."
In his later years, Sullivan received many honors for his life's work. In 1991, President George H. W. Bush awarded him the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1999, President Bill Clinton presented Sullivan with the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights.
In 2000, a year before his death, the city of Charleston honored the reverend by renaming Broad Street, located near his childhood home, as Leon Sullivan Way.
His final years plagued by ill health, Sullivan died of leukemia on April 24, 2001 in Scottsdale, Ariz. at the age of 78. He was buried in Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery in Phoenix.
"He was one of West Virginia's great, great citizens," U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller said of his passing. "He was an extraordinary leader of people. He was also an extraordinarily kind, thoughtful presence with a lot of humor, powerful yet deeply humane and wonderful to be with."
This week's video contains a 2001 WCHS report on Sullivan's passing. The second half consists of a silent montage, used in broadcasts at the time, featuring key moments in his life, including the renaming of Broad Street and President Bush awarding him the Medal of Freedom.

Is Pacifica one foot in the grave?
An interview wit' former WBAI programmer Don Debar
by The People's Minister of Information JR
The Pacifica radio network, founded along with KPFA in Berkeley in 1949 by Lew Hill, a formerly imprisoned anti-war activist, grew to comprise five stations nationwide, adding KPFK in Los Angeles, WBAI in New York, KPFT in Houston and WPFW in Washington, D.C. Together they reach a potential audience of 45 million people. Pacifica invented public radio; since the beginning, Pacifica stations have been sponsored by listeners, with no corporate sponsorship or underwriting and thus no censorship.
But the network faces many dire issues that its listeners need to know and that WBAI programmer Don Debar can knowledgeably talk about. Check out what Pacifica has not been telling its listener supporters …
M.O.I. JR: What is the history of WBAI? How did you get started with WBAI? When?
As I became active in various struggles in my community, I began to have contact with a number of producers at BAI, particularly Errol Maitland, Sharan Harper and Bernard White. This grew into a relationship, beginning in about 2002, where I became a regular contributor to the morning program Wakeup Call, producing a weekly segment covering the communities in the region north of NYC, as well as coverage of various special events, such as the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York.
Ultimately, by 2007, I became the morning news headlines editor for Wakeup Call, traveled the country in 2008 covering the presidential campaign of Cynthia McKinney and the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and began to produce regular special events coverage for Wakeup Call.
M.O.I. JR: What is the history behind WBAI's financial troubles with Pacifica?
Don Debar: The basis of the financial problems that have faced WBAI was the 15-year lease that Pacifica, under then executive director Pat Scott (who tried to make Pacifica more mainstream – ed.) signed with Larry Silverstein in 1997 that ultimately led to annual rent of more than $375,000 a year for their studio and offices at 120 Wall St.
M.O.I. JR: How did Hurricane Sandy affect WBAI? How did it affect the network as a whole?
Don Debar: Although WBAI suffered service and studio access interruption as a result of Sandy, the role of this in the station's much larger set of problems has been greatly exaggerated by management. For example, WBAI did not have to suddenly move last year as a consequence of Sandy. Rather, the term of the lease ended Dec. 31, 2012, Pacifica was many months in arrears – and this was a chronic problem for the entire time since the current management took over – and the landlord decided to kick them out.
The date of the lease's end was known since it was first entered into in 1997; it was specified in the lease. The eviction crisis was a result of management failing to make provisions for new space until they were being evicted. Had Nia Bediako not made arrangements with CUNY (City University of New York) for the temporary space currently housing the station, WBAI would have been homeless. Again, this had nothing to do with Sandy and everything to do with gross mismanagement.
The notorious "three-day notice" that was waved around by Grace Aaron, Steve Brown and Mitchel Cohen is not notice of a pending eviction but, rather, that the rent is in arrears and unless arrangements are made in the three-day period to correct it, an eviction proceeding – which lasts several months in New York City – might be commenced.
M.O.I. JR: What is going on with Pacifica's 501(c)(3) status? Is it illegal for Pacifica to be collecting funds for programming?
Don Debar: Pacifica's corporate charter is based in California. It came to light earlier this year that Pacifica's management had failed to file the required documents with the California authorities and, as a consequence, its corporate charter was suspended. As of March 19, 2013, the date of the most recent data posted at the California Secretary of State's website, it remains suspended. Under California law, the corporation is no longer authorized to conduct business, appear in court to prosecute or defend litigation, or perform any other operations other than prepare and file the required documents for reinstatement.
Update: Pacifica is back on active status with the California Secretary of State as of March 22.
According to the IRS, when a 501(c)(3) entity has its charter suspended or revoked, its status as a 501(c)(3) entity is also suspended. In order to reinstate its status with IRS, the corporation has to be revived under the appropriate state process, and evidence of this, along with an official statement from the state authorities detailing the term of the suspension, must be filed with an application for reinstatement of 501(c)(3) status.
Again, this has yet to be accomplished as of March 19, 2013, and it is unclear how IRS will treat this.
M.O.I. JR: Why is Pacifica in court in New York?
Don Debar: Aside from being evicted from their offices and studios at 120 Wall St. earlier this year, WBAI is in the process of being evicted from the transmission tower on the Empire State Building. Here, too, there has been a chronic arrearage in rent, and the landlord decided they'd had enough and began eviction proceedings.
Without the tower, WBAI is off the air and at grave danger of losing its license to broadcast. Mimi Rosenberg, a Legal Aid attorney who produced the program Building Bridges, secured legal counsel – at no cost – to attempt to resolve the matter, after management had brought the station within days of eviction. The matter is pending.
M.O.I. JR: With what is happening with Pacifica as a whole, as well as the issues with WBAI, WPFW and KPFA, where do you see Pacifica in 10 years?
In fact, Pacifica even lost its name. While its charter was suspended, another corporation was formed in California using the name Pacifica Foundation Inc., resulting in Pacifica having to change its name to Pacifica Foundation Radio in order to proceed with its attempt to revive the corporation. Without good management, I do not think Pacifica will exist by the end of the year.
M.O.I. JR: How could people keep up with info dealing with Pacifica?
Don Debar: We are beginning to open a discussion on internet radio station Community Progressive Radio, which airs at www.CPRmetro.org, and invite producers and others interested in saving Pacifica to participate. Thus far, there are several former Pacifica producers who have regular programs on CPRmetro, including myself and Bernard White, the purged program director from WBAI, as well as several current Pacifica producers.
Since management has been keeping all of these problems secret until they reach the stage of crisis, we will have to inform ourselves and each other if Pacifica is to survive their mismanagement.

16 thoughts on "Is Pacifica one foot in the grave?"
I'm sure JR, Willie and Mary would like to help drag Pacifica into the ground the same way the've destroyed the credibility of the SF Bay View. Clear for everyone to see. Why not an exposé on how you all use your paper for your own personal interests? You have violated your responsibilities as journalists.↓
Tracy Rosenberg
This will probably be a long comment. Sorry but there's a lot to say here. JR, you know I generally respect your work and I really respect Mary and Willie and the work they do with the SF Bayview, but this claptrap should not have been published. Don De Bar is a straight-up Justice and Unity Caucus devotee and those ARE the folks who have worked lockstep with Save KPFA all the way including getting you pitched off of the Morning Mix, JR. They are the East Coast allies of Save KPFA, vote with them every time and were working pretty hard with them in New York City a month ago to make your suspension permanent. You gotta know who you're dealing with.
On the substance of the article: (and Don De Bar is a creditable source for absolutely nothing) – of course Pat Scott stuck WBAI with an overpriced lease. That is part of the reason there was a listener uprising on both costs in the period from 1999-2001 with lockouts in both Berkeley and New York finally leading to network democratization and elected boards in 2003. With the Save KPFA/Justice and Unity Caucus folks in charge from 2003-2008, the WBAI huge fixed expenses continued unabated with the signing of 2 more leases at Wall Street, a 20 year lease signed at the Empire State Building at ruinous rates (lease runs till 2025) and big losses at WBAI that had to be absorbed at the rest of the network. It wasn't until the Save KPFA/Justice and Unity Alliance (of which Mr. De Bar is a proud member) lost control of the national board in 2009 that there was action to deal with the longstanding problems at WBAI (including the termination of long time program director Bernard White in the face of some 2,000 undelivered premiums), WBAI increased listener support by some 35% and the network which had lost 4 million dollars in 2009-2010 recovered to post more modest losses of approximately 500K in 2011 and 2012 – still not great, but a big improvement.
The facts on WBAI's lease is that they were preparing to sign a new (and FINAL) lease at Wall Street with escape hatches built in to allow them to move in 2013 at no penalty, when the hurricane hit, the building flooded and the station became homeless for several months, causing not one but two tanked fund drives and receipts at 50% of expectations, a catastrophic scenario when fixed expenses are too high. There isn't any way to plan for a radio station being flooded and its studio to be nonfunctional for 2.5 months afterward, which is what happened. The network raised 200K to help, but the missing income was more than 600K, leaving a 400K gap. While it's questionable if a landlord has to be paid rent for a period of time when a building was unusable, it's not questionable that the transmitter lease at Empire State Building has to be paid, and its a whopping $50,000 a month. No one should be sniping, they should be helping and here's how to do it: http://www.give2wbai.org/
On the suspension: the unfiled tax returns were Franchise Tax Board filings of form 109's (Unrelated Business Income for stuff like KPFA's craft fair that is unrelated to radio operations) and dated back to 2007. Obviously a few warning letters didn't get proper attention in the past 6 years, but the suspension was fully cleared in January. Unfortunately some people couldn't keep their mouths shut and publicized it, so a name-squatter (from the New York metropolitan area) moved in with one of those 24 hour quickie LLC operations before the CA Secretary of State restored the status. Irresponsible behavior by Mr. De Bar's Justice and Unity Caucus. There is no tax issue whatsoever, everything is now filed, and a little more paperwork to re-establish the corporate status because the unnecessary publicity allowed a con operation to move in. Big waste of time and money and didn't need to happen. The foolish actions of Mr. De Bar and his friends.
Nobody is being evicted from nothing. 120 Wall Street flooded and locked out the tenants for months. A payment plan has already been negotiated with both the old landlord and the Empire State Building and WBAI just needs to raise the money it didn't raise due to the hurricane. That's no small task, and they need help.
Mr De Bar and his cronies worked in tandem with the Save KPFA folks like Dan Siegel, Sherry Gendelman, Bonnie Simmons, Sarv Randawa, Brian Edwards-Tiekert and others who have caused so much grief at KPFA, chasing away generations of talented programmers and targeting anyone who didn't go along with their elitist agenda, including Mr. Valrey himself. Their game plan is to blame the consequences of their own grievous mismanagement on those who are killing themselves to try to clean it up years later, and who deserve a lot better than this. Next time, check your sources JR and don't get played for a fool.

I like the pictures of all the towers that should be reaching 45 million listeners.↓
From Don DeBar:
First of all, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of Justice & Unity, although i have supported their effort to restore local control of WBAI to the listeners and activist community in NY.
Secondly, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a devotee of anything. Ad hominem doesn't substitute for substantive argument, but when that's all you have, it's what you use.
More to the point, everything attributed to me in the above article was factually correct at the time (this past Wednesday/Thursday). The only thing that has changed is that Pacifica Foundation Radio (the new name, necessitated not by "a con operation' but gross mismanagement) was finally restored as of Friday, March 22, 2013. The corporation was NOT restored in January – had this been true, Pacifica Foundation Inc. would not have been able to use the name when it was formed on February 26, 2013.
Also true is the fact that, under IRS regs, the suspension or dissolution of a corporation with IRC Section 501 (c) (3) status automatically, by operation of law, results in the suspension of that status, requiring a separate filing with IRS requesting restoration of its tax exempt status. This application must include a.) evidence of the revival of the corporation and b.) a statement of the term of the suspension, both of which must come from the state authorities where the corporation is domiciled.
There is a pending eviction proceeding against Pacifica for the Empire State Building transmitter – this is a matter of record. This happened entirely during the control of Pacifica of the current majority management.
And the idea that someone 'blabbed' – that is, exposed the mismanagement of the Foundation by this group to the extent that Pacifica lost its charter for the first time since 1946 (!!!) and jeopardized the tax exempt status of the Foundation, risking huge liability to donors for taxes, penalties and interest – tells more about the secrecy that this group practices than anything else.
Posted by sfbayview for Don DeBar, who, for some unknown technical reason, has not been able to post this comment all day.↓
Tracy Rosenberg
Sometimes it is amazing what people say. Don, I am starting my 4th year on the Pacifica board and on at least half a dozen occasions, when you have trouped to one city or another to attend a national board meeting to make public comments, you have identified yourself as a member of the Justice and Unity Caucus. Do we really have to even discuss this? If you start off with this dissembling, then it's pretty hard to take anything else you say with anything other than a huge grain of salt.
The truth is never an ad hominen anything. It's just the truth. And there's not much of it in evidence here.
The corporate status was fully restored in January and the Secretary of State was sitting on the paperwork as they have suffered greatly from the CA budget cuts and only update the records once a month due to being short-staffed after huge layoffs in Sacramento a few years ago. NY folks slipped in a week before the update date, using a quickie 24-hour "create your own LLC in less than 24 hours" website (see XL Corporate Services in New York) to steal the name. Con operation all the way, and simply designed to waste money. The usual hijinks that the Justice and Unity Caucus is fond of. As you admit, it's been resolved, but the time and trouble you and yours go to waste the foundation's money and time is extraordinary.
When WBAI raised $530,000 instead of $1,010,000 due to the hurricane, what did you think would happen? How did you think the $50,000 a month transmitter would be paid? With what? The only option with such a catastrophe and no financial reserves would have been to lay off all the employees and Pacifica chose to try not to do that. Would you have preferred that? Instead they hoped they could pull it out and I'm very happy to report that $245,000 has been raised and they are part of the way there, although there is a long way to go. That is largely due to the work of Summer Reese, who stayed in NYC for over a month, away from her family, to pitch on the radio for 5+ hours a day to try to save the radio station. Be glad she doesn't subscribe to your local control mantra. It would have been very easy to tell WBAI to drop dead a la Gerald Ford, but she didn't.
I sat in a board meeting in NYC for 4 straight days from February 22-25 and listened to you and yours announce on the Internet over and over and over again like children that Pacifica's name could be stolen in the next 2 days. Why are you so surprised someone took you up on it? Normal organizations don't do that. Troublemakers do that and people too immature to recognize when discretion and prudence is in order. You "blabbed" right in front of my face, Don and that wasn't done for Pacifica or WBAI's welfare.
Stop blaming your own handiwork on others. In 2007, when the returns weren't filed, you and yours were the majority. And you did a lousy job.
JR Valrey should know that better than anyone. There would be no Morning Mix if it was left up to your side of the fence. Fought the budget cuts (when KPFA was losing half a million dollars a year) every step of the way.

From Don DeBar:
I have never identified myself as a member of J&U. And I record all of my presentations on videotape. I don't believe that there is much more to say on this. I will make the video available if this becomes necessary.
Now should I hang you with your statement "If you start off with this dissembling, then it's pretty hard to take anything else you say with anything other than a huge grain of salt"? Or should I continue presenting the relevant facts?
The viability of a suspended corporation is not restored upon filing – it is restored upon filing, processing and acceptance. Had anyone on the board, or anyone advising the board, done due dilligence, they would have used a corporate service like XL Corporate Services (one of the firms who do this work that is known around the country to law firms specializing in corporate law) and effected the restoration of the corporation within a few days of submission, thereby protecting the name that was exposed by the negilgence of your board. After all, you have been sitting on that board for almost FOUR YEARS, as you relate above. Was the corporation susended for that entire time? Or did it happen during your tenure? I have yet to get an answer from anyone on the board. Why?
The question is an essential one: either no one took notice of the suspension in the years since you took over the corporation, or the suspension took place during your tenure (and, it should be noted, corporations are only suspended upon notice) – in either case, an act of gross negligence which, until someone 'blabbed,' the board hid from the membership (and, BTW, was this effective and concealed during the election cycle?) AND also hid from donors during the intervening fund drives.
I am not in the least bit culpable for your negligence, nor am I in the least bit responsible for what happened during your tenure or during the tenure of any prior board. Again, I am not a member of J&U. I have on occasion supported their candidates, primarily in opposition to your bloc and the purging of its political opponents across the network.
As for the canard that, but for Hurricane Sandy, you would have raised $1+ Million instead of the $530,000, all one need do is look at the record of fund raising prior and since, which has been in decline a heluva lot longer than that. Not all of this is due to your mismanagement, although much of it is. I don't know about California, but here in New York, people are only so concerned about their colons, and prefer to support organizations that serve their community needs AS PERCEIVED, DEFINED AND ARTICULATED BY THEMSELVES.
Endless fund drives – RECORD LENGTH fund drives – that push quackery and other themes not related to the needs of New York communities do not draw the support of those communities, formerly the backbone of WBAI's fundraising. The links between WBAI and local communities have been seriously damaged by your bloc in its tenure over the past four years, and, if one is to follow the rhetoric that accompanied the election of your bloc to the boards, this was a deliberate choice, done in the belief that programming to poor people was untenable and instead more emphasis had to be given to more affluent audiences, who would, in turn, support the station. Aside from its obviously racist basis (given the facts of income and wealth distribution in NY and, of course, elsewhere in the US), this 'strategy' was clearly delusional. The reprogramming of the station by a series of people with NO ties to New York's communities – amd, thus, ignorant of their wants and needs – was destined to fail. You are now reaping the results, as are we all.

Of course you're a member of the Justice and Unity caucus. Even Willie and Mary Ratcliff, (the publishers of this paper) confirmed that when I asked why they were wasting precious space on your rantings.
Corporate status is listed publicly on the website at sos.ca.gov. It's not a mystery. You just go to business entity search and type in the name and it tells you the status. So you don't need secret information to ascertain when the status was suspended and when it was not. It was fully restored as Pacifica Foundation Radio on 3-22-2013.
WBAI raised $1,012,000 in the period October to December 2011. Their budget for October to December 2012 was $1,010.00, same as before. If they had raised the same amount of money as they did a year ago, they'd be fine. They didn't, because they were flooded out of their building and homeless for 2.5 months.
The call for "local control" (as echoed by our friends here at Save KPFA who are after JR's head) has absolutely nothing to do with community needs. As we can see. It's a call for power by programmers who feel the radio station belongs to them and only them and the community be damned. That's what unites the Justice and Unity Caucus and Save KPFA, that's why they vote together and have for a decade. It has done Pacifica Radio a whole bunch of harm.

KPFA Listener Rep↓
Tracy – you begin again with the absurd: "Of course you're a member of the Justice and Unity
caucus. Even Willie and Mary Ratcliff, (the publishers of this paper) confirmed that when I
asked why they were wasting precious space on your rantings."
Just to keep the record clear, although it is irrelevant and a distraction from addressing
the facts I presented above – I again deny that I am a member of J&U or any other caucus
inlved in Pacifica. What is the source of the claim of these folks (according to you)
confirming my alleged membership in an organization to which I do not belong?
As for my 'rantings' – thus far, I havebeen dealing in facts and law, and rather tham respond
in kind, you have been attacking me personally, attempting to paint me as partisan, rather
than addressing the statements of fact I made with counter facts and evidence to support your
position. That is textbook ad hominem attack. Why will you nor address the factual arguments?
As for your claim that I "don't need secret information to ascertain when the status was
suspended and when it was not. It was fully restored as Pacifica Foundation Radio on 3-22-
2013″ – I did not ask that which is already public, viz., when was Pacifica restored? I asked
when was Pacifica first suspended? This information is NOT available at the DOS website, and
none of my requests (or those of others) for this information were answered at the last PNB.
Will you or any member of the board disclose this to the membership (which includes me), or
are you afraid to 'blab' as you put it, and, if so, why are you afraid to disclose it?
As for the importance of local community involvement in programming the Foundation;s stations
(as opposed to your caricature of this concept as some partisan idea of 'local control') –
WBAI used to have organized members of various communities actually involved in helping to
program the station. This resulted in programming that served these communities and which, in
turn, resulted in these – and other – various community organizations working to help keep
the station afloat. Those ties – literally, the backbone of the station – were severed when
your group brought in people with ZERO prior programming experience (yes, I have Tony Bates
on tape admitting on WBAI's airthat he'd never before programmed a radio station, and
LaVarne's resume is a matter of record) to reprogram the station on the magical belief that
the financial problems WBAI faced due to its oppressive, Pacifica-imposed lease were instead
due to poor programming decisions which favored poor audiences over those with discretionary
income. The consequent need to substantially increase the time doing on-air fundraising, and
the declining returns from those efforts, were, and remain, a direct consequence of your bloc
essentially firing those communities who were the backbone of the station.
BTW, I have reviewed the 990s for Pacifica through FY 2011. The Foundation's assets are
rapidly evaporating, almost to the point of air. Why don't you post these – or links to these
- here, so we can have a deep discussion based upon facts in front of the readers here?↓
Tracy Rosenberg
WBAI has been losing $500,000 to a million dollars a year every single year since at least 2004. When you and yours were running the station and running it thoroughly into the ground. All I do here at KPFA is stick up for community-based programming and for it, am vilified constantly. And your Justice and Unity Caucus vilifies community programming at KPFA, calls for JR's head, vilifies me and votes lockstep with the Save KPFA folks every day for more than a decade. I can't have a reasonable conversation with you, sorry. Your actions and the actions of those you support have to make sense before that is possible. They don't.
As you can see, the readers don't know what to make of this article and I can see why. Give them a little credit. They know Save KPFA, and you, are no friend to anything they care about.
Mary, please don't dissemble. Here is what you said: "Willie and JR and I have talked about this. We know all about Justice and Unity (which formed when Willie was a very active member of the board) and their strange alliance with Edwards-Tiekert & Co"
"One of our objectives in running this interview was to get Don et al to reconsider now that JR is the issue. If nothing else, … we hope Save KPFA will begin to doubt their clout and maybe they'll wonder whether continuing to single out JR will cause Save KPFA to lose their Justice & Unity ally".
Won't work and JR will be the latest in a long line of people thrown under the bus. He's not the first and he won't be the last. Expecting the Justice and Unity caucus to save you is the worst kind of delusion. All they do and have done is destroy.

Again, I am not a member of J&U, nor have I ever been. Repeat the claim all you like. It doesn't change the facts. And you still haven't addressed the substance, nor have you answered the question: WHEN DID PACIFICA GET ITS CHARTER SUSPENDED?↓
Tracy Rosenberg
Stop screaming in capital letters. The corporate status is recorded on the website at sos.ca.gov. Every day for anyone on the planet to go and look at it. If Pacifica's status was suspended before, the website would have said suspended on it. It didn't. So your paranoid ravings are documentedly untrue. The corporate status was suspended in late January 2013, rectified by mid-February 2013 (the 109 forms were filed), delayed by the name hijinks by a quickie LLC start-up service and the mysterious doctor from NY who stole the name, and re-established with full privileges on Friday March 22, 2013.
Tracy Rosenberg
KPFA Listener Representative↓
The date of the suspension is not posted on the CA Department of State website. I have been asking this question since the day after I first heard about the suspension, at the PNB in NY, and this iis the closest that anyone has come to giving me an answer.
Why is it that you earlier wrote that the corrective filing was done in January (see above, "…the suspension was fully cleared in January…") and now you say the corporate status was suspended in late January and the corrective filing was done in February?
I am going to forward your repeated descriptions of Blumberg/XL as a "quickie LLC startup service" to them. It's not up to me to protect their reputation from public attack. But you should know that that is not what they are. And it should be pointed out that Pacifica Foundation Inc., the corporation formed when your board made the name available through its negligence, is not a Limited Liability Compant (an "LLC"); if it were, the name would be "Pacifica Foundation LLC." It should also be pointed out that there is no such thing as a "quickie LLC" since the publication requirements to form an LLC make it impossible to do as a 'quickie.'
Finally, I suggest you stop trying to condescend to me. It is not an appropriate way for a Foundation board member to speak to a member, nor is it an appropriate way for a Foundation board member to communicate in public. Both your tone and obvious lack of substance and command of the facts reflect badly on Pacifica. IMHO, actionably so.↓
Tracy Rosenberg
The status of a California corporation is always posted on the website at sos.ca.gov. Your ridiculous comments about how you don't know whether the suspension happened 4 years ago are mind-boggling. You don't think someone would have noticed if the corporate status had said suspended in 2008 and for five years after that? The date of the suspension was Jan 15th or so and the filings were sent by the end of January, with the foundation in receipt of a letter stating that everything necessary to clear the suspension had been filed in February with the restoration date affirmed as 3-4-2013. Which would have been that except for our friends at the doctor's office and their quickie LLSC operation on Feb 26th – one day after the NYC PNB meeting ended.

??? How does this show they are a 'quickie llc' operation? They do a full set of corporate services around the country – in fact, they are one of the leading firms nationally. They do this work primarily for law firms that specialize in corporate work.
As for the rest, I feel like I'm mud wrstling and not communicating. I'm done with that for now. I will say if your 'support' for J.R. rests on his other political support, it is opportunistic, and ultimately useless. I support him despite the factionalism that exists at Pacifica, on principle.↓

Dan Graves
Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
As explained in the previous column, we spend the first couple decades of life acting our age, and on occasion trying to appear more mature when the situation warrants it.
Personally speaking, at the age of 12, anyone past the age of 21 looked like part of the Over The Hill gang, but I couldn't wait to get there and enjoy all the benefits of "adulthood."
When the magic day of my 21st birthday finally arrived I sauntered into one of the local pubs to order a legal alcoholic beverage. The only problem was, I had no idea just what to order. I bellied up to the bar between a couple of knuckle dragging beer drinkers, wiped the sweat off my brow and ordered a glass of sherry. Both Bubba's turned, looked at me and slowly leaned away and shook their heads. I thought about saying, "Either one of you dudes happen to know where I can git a good used pick-em-up truck and a double barreled shotgun?" I didn't, so I gagged down the stuff that tasted like Geritol and left, swearing to take up a better tasting, sinful hobby.
The next nine years flew by while getting married to a great person, having two perfect kids (Ha!) and trying to convince my employers that their companies would crumble into dust without my presence. Meanwhile, I, like everyone else, kept up with the latest in fashion trends and hair styles that originated in California. Bell bottomed trousers, Nehru shirts, and long hair were the order of the day. Every morning, I'd stand in front of the mirror, comb my long, curly locks and hiss, "You handsome devil, you."
That is, until one day at a service station when the attendant approached from the rear of the car and said, "May I help you, ma'am?" That night Judy lopped a few inches off my mane.
One day I looked ahead and saw the deadline looming. The end. The last hoorah. The final chapter in a young and vital life. I would turn 30 in a few months. To me, thirty marked the demise of a perpetual teenage lifestyle. No more midnight drag races or Michael Landon werewolf movies. Even my two remaining zits were beginning to fade. When the fateful day arrived, I stood in front of a mirror raking through my hair looking for the inevitable gray strands that I knew were there and made plans to visit the drug store the next day for my first application of Just For Men. Although none were found, I knew the little assassins were waiting to sneak out when I wasn't watching.
Were those bags forming under my eyes? Rigorous application of a wash cloth took care of that problem but no amount of scrubbing could remove the small dark line that was forming above my upper lip. My futile attempts to date to grow a mustache were finally showing results. But why had that not been apparent at first? Could it be that my eyesight was beginning to fade?
I planned to make an appointment with an optometrist the next week. Facing reality, my youth was beginning to sink into the sunset. It was time to take drastic steps. I bought a motorcycle.
The scoot (I quickly learned the proper jargon) gave me a sense of youthful freedom with wind blown hair and bug splattered teeth, but the younger bikers, even though I was a part of the brotherhood, were keeping me at a polite distance. Reluctantly, I settled in with riders my own age or older and started hanging out at rallies and joining in cross country rides. That is, until the scoot and I came to a differing of opinion one day and I wore dressings and Band-Aids for a few weeks as a result. Maybe it was time to let Mother Nature take her natural course since I wasn't going to last much longer, anyway. I concentrated on my career and other mundane things for the next few years, all the while waiting for the hammer to fall.
Somehow, I had made it to 40 and the gray hairs were still hiding in the foliage. Small lines began appearing on my face and I spent a little time each morning pressing my fingers against my temples, staring in the mirror and pulling the skin back to see what "reconstructive surgery" would do. I looked like I had a nylon stocking over my head and when I released my hold my face snapped back to a 40-year-old.
Thinking that stapling the folds of skin wouldn't help I gave up and bought a sports car. A bright red one. Now suave and debonair and a member of the jet set, I felt 20 years younger. Until one day a couple of chicks pulled up beside me at a stop light. One looked over and said, "Man, that's a cool car." Her buddy said, "Yeah, but look at the old man driving it."
Years have passed and I've kept the car and the motorcycle, just for the fun of it. The creams and lotions that claim to take years off your appearance haven't worked. I'm used to hearing my doctor say such things as, "You're scintillator bone has slipped out of alignment with you onfonosanadim."
The gray hairs have finally decided to come out of hiding, no longer afraid of an attack by Just For Men. Apparently you can't make a thoroughbred out of a mule by simply putting a saddle on it, but I'm not through yet.
Forget shuffleboard, checkers, and bingo. There is a growing demand among seniors for things as they used to be, such as manual typewriters and radios that were a piece of furniture. I'll open an antique store with a sign that says "Over 65 Only Allowed Inside. I.D. Required. Management Reserves The Right To Refuse Service To Anyone Who Uses Just For Men or Wrinkle Removing Creams or Lotions."

CATEGORIES Action, Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Sony Classics, ThinkFilm, Box Office, Family Films, Cinematical Indie, Picturehouse, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeAn epic tale of a famed warrior edged out the modern explorations of a Bavarian filmmaker. Sergei Bodrov's Mongol (Picturehouse) earned $21,400 per screen in its second week of release at five theaters, according to estimates compiled by Box Office Mojo. Does this prove that indie film lovers like their blockbuster-style movies, too? If nothing else, I think it shows that people like a wide variety of movies, no matter if they're heading to the arthouse or the multiplex.
Unlikely as it seems, Werner Herzog has made a G-rated film, suitable for the entire film. Encounters at the End of the World (ThinkFilm) moved Jeffrey M. Anderson to write: "Herzog's film is something closer to art; it has a direct line to its creator's soul. If you see a lot of documentaries and that tired, old PBS format with the talking heads, narrator and clips has started to wear thin, Herzog's open, honest film is as refreshing as an icy breeze." The film grossed $17,500 at one theater in Manhattan.
Opening at two theaters in Austin, rather than the tired old Manhattan and Hollywood, Baghead (Sony Pictures Classics) did very nicely, thank you, earning $4,450 per screen. Jette Kernion commented recently on the unusual release pattern. At Sundance, Eric D. Snider reviewed it ("a blast of fresh air"). James Rocchi interviewed filmmakers Jay and Mark Duplass. We even premiered the poster. All I'm saying is: Go Baghead!

Biomedical engineers analyze and design solutions to problems in biology and medicine, with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of patient care. They work in manufacturing, universities, hospitals, research facilities of companies and educational and medical institutions, teaching, and government regulatory agencies.
Biomedical engineers typically do the following:
Biomedical engineers may design instruments, devices, and software; bring together knowledge from many technical sources to develop new procedures; or conduct research needed to solve clinical problems. They often serve a coordinating function, using their background in both engineering and medicine. In industry, they may create products where an in-depth understanding of living systems and technology is essential. They frequently work in research and development or in quality assurance.
Some biomedical engineers design electrical circuits, software to run medical equipment, or computer simulations to test new drug therapies. Some also design and build artificial body parts to replace injured limbs. In some cases, they develop the materials needed to make the replacement body parts. They also design rehabilitative exercise equipment.
The work of these engineers spans many professional fields. For example, although their expertise is based in engineering and biology, they often design computer software to run complicated instruments, such as three-dimensional x-ray machines. Alternatively, many of these engineers use their knowledge of chemistry and biology to develop new drug therapies. Others draw heavily on mathematics and statistics to build models to understand the signals transmitted by the brain or heart. Some specialty areas within biomedical engineering include bioinstrumentation; biomaterials; biomechanics; cellular, tissue, and genetic engineering; clinical engineering; medical imaging; orthopedic surgery; rehabilitation engineering; and systems physiology. Some people with training in biomedical engineering become professors.

Biomedical engineers typically need a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering from an accredited program to enter the occupation. Alternatively, they can get a bachelor's degree in a different field of engineering and then either get a graduate degree in biomedical engineering or get on-the-job training in biomedical engineering.
Prospective biomedical engineering students should take high school science courses, such as chemistry, physics, and biology. They should also take mathematics, including calculus. Courses in drafting or mechanical drawing and computer programming are also useful. Bachelor's degree programs in biomedical engineering focus on engineering and biological sciences. Programs include laboratory-based courses in addition to classes in subjects such as fluid and solid mechanics, computer programming, circuit design, and biomaterials. Other required courses include in-depth training in biological sciences, including physiology.
Biomedical engineers must be able to analyze the needs of patients and customers to design appropriate solutions. Because biomedical engineers sometimes work with patients and frequently work with other professionals, such as medical scientists or other engineers, they must be able to express themselves clearly. Biomedical engineers often work in teams and gather input from patients, therapists, physicians, and business professionals. They must seek others' ideas and incorporate them into the problem-solving process. Biomedical engineers use the principles of calculus and other advanced topics in mathematics for analysis, design, and troubleshooting in their work.
Some biomedical engineers attend dental or medical school to specialize in applications at the front lines of patient care, such as using electric impulses in new ways to get muscles moving again. Some earn law degrees and work as patent attorneys.
Biomedical engineers work in a variety of settings, depending on what they do. Some work in hospitals where therapy occurs, and others work in laboratories doing research. Still others work in manufacturing settings where they design biomedical engineering products. Additionally, these engineers also work in commercial offices where they make or support business decisions. Biomedical engineers work with patients and in teams with other professionals. Thus, where and how they work are often determined by others' specific needs. For example, a biomedical engineer who has developed a new device designed to help a person with a disability to walk again might have to spend hours in a hospital to determine whether the device works as planned. If the engineer finds a way to improve the device, the engineer might have to then return to the manufacturer to help alter the manufacturing process to improve the design.

Pursuing a degree in law and an MBA might seem overwhelming, but the combination will open doors. Our JD/MBA graduates go on to combine their legal and business knowledge in fields as diverse as corporate law, entrepreneurship, consulting, and corporate real estate. Their specialized expertise makes them a key player in organizations big and small. It's a challenge, to be sure, but you'll be surprised at the paths that are open to you when you've earned a JD/MBA.
The JD/MBA Dual Degree Program was developed for candidates interested in combining their MBA studies with a JD from the University of Minnesota Law School. Candidates may apply for both programs at the same time, or current Law students may apply to the MBA Program during their first year of study in the Law School. Under this study plan students begin the MBA program in fall semester of year two.
Both degrees can be completed in 4 years. To complete in this time frame students will carry a very demanding coursework schedule. While the dual degree program enables students to complete in a shorter time frame, it does not diminish the cost nor the number of credits required for each program. Also, please be aware that compromises are necessary to complete this dual degree program, especially upon admission into the MBA portion of the dual degree. Students will need to delay opportunities such as the law journals, moot court, and some law on-campus interview options, which may conflict with required courses or other required events for the MBA program.

NEW YORK (AP) -- For the second time in two months, federal prosecutors have revealed that a New York state lawmaker snared in a criminal probe tried to earn lenient treatment by secretly recording other elected officials for the FBI.
In court papers filed Friday, prosecutors said former state Sen. Shirley Huntley, a Queens Democrat, made numerous recordings of her meetings over several months last year after she was herself caught on an incriminating wiretap.
Nine different people were subjects of the surveillance -- seven elected officials and two people who had previously worked for politicians.
The legal memorandum said recordings with three of those officials, including another state senator, "did yield evidence useful to law enforcement."
Prosecutors didn't specify what that evidence was or name the officials involved. They told the judge that the details of the recordings would be discussed in a separate letter, filed under seal.
The revelation comes roughly a month after state Assemblyman Nelson Castro, a Bronx Democrat, resigned after admitting that he made similar recordings of colleagues for federal investigators after they told him he would be charged with perjury in yet another corruption investigation.
His cooperation ultimately helped lead to the indictment of a fellow assemblyman from the Bronx, Eric Stevenson, who has been accused of accepting bribes in exchange for legislation that gave a competitive advantage to a business in his district. Stevenson has denied the allegations.
Huntley's lawyer, Sally Butler, didn't immediately return phone or email messages Friday. A person who answered the phone at her law office said she wasn't interested in commenting.
Huntley is scheduled to be sentenced May 9 after pleading guilty to mail fraud conspiracy last winter. She admitted embezzling nearly $88,000 from a state-funded nonprofit group she controlled. Prosecutors said she also accepted a $1,000 payment from a businessman who was trying to get the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to lease him more space at Kennedy Airport.
Despite Huntley's agreement to help the government, prosecutors said in the sentencing memorandum filed Friday that they decided not to enter into a formal cooperation agreement with her because she repeatedly lied about her own crimes.
In meetings with investigators, Huntley "generally accepted responsibility," prosecutors wrote. But when pressed for details, she "often provided answers which were false, implausible and inconsistent." During some meetings with authorities, she "frequently changed her answers to such questions multiple times."
"Moreover, in multiple instances, the defendant adamantly defended her false representations, only relenting when confronted with documentary evidence contradicting her claims," prosecutors wrote. "Under these circumstances, the government concluded that the defendant could not serve as an effective cooperating witness, and therefore declined to offer her a cooperation agreement."

Vanilla Custard Pie Recipe
My grandmother passed down this recipe to my mother, who in turn passed it down to me. Now my daughter is making it for her family. With a graham cracker crust, custard filling and meringue topping, this pie was one of my favorites when I was growing up and it still is today.
- 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in vanilla. Pour into crust.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Spread over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
- Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Yield: 8 servings.

This was the BEST pie I'd ever tasted! Anyone ever looking for a custard pie close to a Hubig pie? This is it! Only difference was the crust and meringue on top but that gave it even more flavor. It's saved and my new go to recipe when I'm craving custard pie!!!
Reviewed May. 26, 2012
I made this recipe and thought it was really good but there wasn't enough pie for the crust. Meaning, if I make it again, I will double the filling part of the recipe.

Do you love the Restoration Hardware tables that have that beautiful gray (driftwood-like) weathered wood? Me too. But, I can't justify spending thousands of dollars on their furniture. Instead, I found a Craig's List pedestal table that had the right shape and size for our kitchen. It was a cherry veneer finish, but after some paint you'd never know!
And then, I created my own Faux Weathered Gray Wood Grain top. All you need are some Valspar paint samples, some wood grain tools and a dry brush to achieve this look.
Ready to get started?
- 3 empty containers
- Blue Hawk Wood Grain tool (I also used Martha Stewart craft comb for the sides of the table top)
- Valspar 6006-1A Woodrow Wilson Putty
- Valspar 6007-2A Arid Plains
- Valspar 6005-1A Asiago
- Valspar clear mixing glaze
- Dry brush paint brush
- 2.5″ Paint brush
- Wet wipes for clean up and mistakes
- Paper towel or dry rag
- Minwax wipe on Polyurethane (the paint on will be more durable, but takes much longer to dry)
- Optional: Minwax Natural Oak Finishing Wipes
Base Coat and Glazes:
Before you begin creating your wood grain, you should paint your surface with Valspar Woodrow Wilson Putty and allow it to dry.
If you are painting furniture, lightly sand the piece. And be sure to use Valspar Paint + Primer in one. This will allow you to paint directly onto the furniture and skip the primer. [Read more...]

That whole thing about Mark Martin filling in while Denny Hamlin is injured -- yeah, you can go ahead and forget about it.
In a statement released Friday afternoon, Michael Waltrip Racing announced that Martin would only drive for Hamlin April 7 at Martinsville and then return to drive the MWR No. 55 car the following week at Texas.
This is contrary to what Joe Gibbs Racing made known Thursday when the team said Martin would fill Hamlin's seat in the five races he's expected to miss after fracturing a vertebrae in his lower back.
Martin is running a part-time schedule for MWR and was originally schedule to sit out Martinsville. Brian Vickers, who drives for JGR in the Nationwide Series, is to take the wheel of the No. 55 car in Martin's absence.
Vickers will now pick up the remainder of the races that Hamlin misses. Hamlin is is expected to return May 11 at Darlington.
JGR acknowledged in a separate release late Friday that there was miscommunication between Toyota's top two organizations.
"Obviously having to find someone to fill in for Denny is not an ideal situation to have to be in, and when you start a process like this, you obviously begin to look at the drivers that are not only available but also able to drive for your race team and manufacturer," JGR president J.D. Gibbs said in a statement.
"We were a bit premature in determining Mark's status past Martinsville, however. We're real happy to have the opportunity to get Brian in our Cup cars and with him driving Nationwide for us we think we have some continuity there that is beneficial."

I think alot of comments here are made by people who don't understand West Virginia (and Western PA) culture. I'm not from there and not going to proclaim its greatness. But I have had occassion over the past 15 years to be out there many, many times, and I have come to understand the region -- and why they are so insane about their college football team.Here's what you need to know about the people in WV. They are an insular, self-supporting group who knows the rest of the country looks down on them, but who believe in each other and think no one appreciates how good of a people they are. They have had, historically, two of the most dangerous industries of all: coal mining and steel mills. These are jobs requiring hearty men and very high accident/death rates. Many people in WV and WPa never leave the small town where they grew up in. They also tend to be very religious people.But they are also, typically, not nearly as affluent as other parts of the country. Their education system sucks. People don't move into WV, except when relocated there (e.g. FBI has a big operation in Morgantown).So, WV people yearn for something on which to feel good about themselves, compared to other parts of the country. Same issue Alabama has, I think. So when their football team was doing very well, it was not merely a source of pride or diversion -- it was reaffirming of their culture, their hard work, of the nature of the people who lived there. (Same kind of attitude Pittsburgers have about the Steelers.)I think, IMHO, that's why they were so hard on RR when he left. He was one of THEM, he grew up there, he played there, he came back there to lead them. He made them feel good about themselves. Then, he left... for a "better job," one of the glamour jobs. It just reminded WV people, hey, this is just WV after all. It opened up that thing you don't talk about there -- how, when WV people get successful, they LEAVE.It's not a place used to being under the spotlight. This is just the latest chapter of what happens in small, islanded, parochial regions that are trying to be what they are not.

Band Together, a Triangle organization that uses live music as a platform for social change, announced Thursday that StepUp Ministry is its 2015 nonprofit partner.
StepUp Ministry teaches low-income and homeless people to become self-sufficient. StepUp, an interfaith nonprofit, will partner with Band Together on its annual event that has produced as much as $862,000 in net proceeds for the community.
WNCN partners with Band Together each year to help promote the charities.WNCN anchors Penn Holderness and Page Crawford were the hosts of the 2013 event at Koka Booth Ampitheatre in Cary, when Lyle Lovett was the headline act.
"The selection process was not easy this year, since we had many outstanding and worthy nonprofits apply for the 2015 partnership," said Matthew Strickland, executive director of Band Together. "StepUp Ministry appealed to our Board because many families are experiencing unemployment in the Triangle. StepUp is taking the initiative to not only help, but train our citizens in need. Our partnership will have an extremely meaningful impact in our community."
In 2015, Band Together and StepUp plan to surpass the current 2014 goal of raising more than $1 million for Communities In Schools of Wake County and Communities In Schools of Durham. Proceeds raised during the 2015 partnership year will be used to maintain StepUp Raleigh; open a parent organization, StepUp North Carolina; and, open a seed organization, StepUp Durham.
"We love the innovative way in which Band Together serves this community and we are proud to partner with them each year," said Robby Thomas, director of marketing for WNCN. "We know their process is very thorough, so we offer our sincere congratulations to StepUp Ministry."
Steve Swayne, CEO at StepUp, said the partnership will help his organization expand its programs.
"We are pleased to be partnered with Band Together and look forward to seeing the impact we have on the community in 2015," he said.
Band Together has donated almost $3 million to local nonprofits since its inception in 2001. The 2013 Band Together event helped raise $862,000 for Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities. In 2014 Band Together hopes to raise more than $1 million for the Band Together partnership with Communities In Schools of Wake County and Communities In Schools of Durham County.
Past nonprofit partners have included Urban Ministries of Wake County, Alliance Medical Ministry, StepUp Ministry, The Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood, SAFEChild, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Triangle and more.
