William Barber

RALEIGH --

North Carolina's largest civil rights group has filed a public records request for information on a letter regarding the Racial Justice Act signed by almost all the state's district attorneys.

Rev. William Barber, the leader of the state NAACP, said Friday the group wants to know if the 43 elected district attorneys who signed the letter knew what was in it...

As he did last year, Rev. Dr. William Barber of the North Carolina NAACP gave his Christmas Message on the steps of the North Carolina Community College System. Rev. Barber reflected on Luke 2:7, in which Joseph and Mary are told there is no room in the inn. He called on the leaders of our state to have the courage to "open up these doors and let our children come in."

Don't you think that innkeeper might look back and wish that he had let Jesus into his his inn? Do we want to make the same mistake?
