Abstract | Richard A. Vinroot, mayor of Charlotte, N.C., and Republican gubernatorial candidate for the 1996 nomination, discusses his lifelong involvement with the party and its fortunes in North Carolina since the 1960s. The evolution of African-American and women’s political activity in North Carolina is a major theme, and Vinroot discusses Harvey Gantt and his campaigns extensively. Vinroot is optimistic about the future of the Republican Party in North Carolina, believing that generally voters are socially conservative and have more in common with each other than they think. |
