Guilford Courthouse rates first in history
Regarding Carra Woodham, who asserted in her Sept. 13 letter that the Woolworth sit-ins were as important to Greensboro's history as the Guilford Courthouse:
Surely, you jest. The Guilford Courthouse represents the struggle and fight for everything we have in this county, and it was done over centuries by all classes of people.
Now, four kids protesting at a lunch counter pales in any comparison you can make. And your seething about the Civil Rights Museum is misplaced. It will be built when and if the black community can produce some responsible leadership to guide it, including producing clear and correct audits of where the money is going. Two infamous politicians started out with their hands in the pie and have been joined by a vast array of so-called consultants, etc., all of whom get their cut. No wonder you need money.
But the public is not fooled, as evidenced by the past two bond defeats. Get your house in order and then the public will support you.
