Harold Kennedy – Chairman
Forsyth County Democratic Party
315 North Spruce Street
Winston-Salem, NC 27101
Dear Chairman Kennedy,
The African American Caucus of the Forsyth County Democratic Party (AAC – FCDP) wishes to share with you our reasons for not participating fully in County Party events. We elected you as President to lead the Forsyth County Democratic Party (FCDP) working side by side with members of the Executive Committee. We believe the FCDP is now in violation of the North Carolina Democratic Party Plan of Organization because you are no longer performing your duties. If you are no longer ready, willing or able to execute the office of Chair of FCDP, please resign so that someone else can lead and bring the Democratic Party together.
We explained to you and thought you understood that if the Party’s tactics of reducing African American voting strength by placing numerous Committee Chairs and other none elected people on the Executive Committee, that we will no longer function as Second Class Citizens of the County Party. We are also concerned about the way the 1st Vice Chair has spoken to our President, Mr. Harold Lee Hairston.
We remain the MOST loyal Democrats in that we vote for all Democratic Candidates no matter what the candidate’s Race or Gender. We continue to work with Democratic Auxiliaries and individuals who uphold the Party’s Goals and Objectives. Until the African American Caucus of the Forsyth County Democratic Party is treated with the respect that is owed to all Democrats, we continue to work Party issues and problems unique to the Black Community without the support of our fellow Democrats. We look forward to meeting with you and the Executive Committee to discuss ways to reunite the FCDP.
Sincerely,
AAC-FCDP Executive Committee
