Abstract | Reginald Hawkins, dentist and ordained Presbyterian minister, was a leading African-American civil rights activist from the 1940s to the 1970s. He discusses the evolution of African-American political involvement from the 1940s and his role as a key leader and activist. He discusses the revival of the Republican Party as a force in North Carolina, certain political and cultural concerns like redistricting and the lack of African-American leadership at the grassroots level, and the continuing issue of race in politics and society. |
