In the pages which follow, you will meet some extraordinary individuals who have seized that opportunity Wand North Carolina is richer because of them. The Heritage Calendar: Celebrating the North Carolina African-American Experience honors men and women of all races who have contributed significantly to the lives and experiences of African-Americans in our state. The individuals featured in the 2017 edition have excelled in many fields, including education, public service, civil rights, military service, and journalism. Some will be quickly recognized, while others are unsung heroes. Yet all have played an invaluable role in weaving the rich tapestry of North Carolina and we are excited to help share their stories. We appreciate the continuing involvement of our community supporters: The News & Observer, Capitol Broadcasting Company/ WRAL-TV, Western Carolina University, the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel, and PNC Bank. The NC Department of Public Instruction has again developed unique educational resources which will allow teachers to utilize the printed and online versions of the 2017 Heritage Calendar in their classrooms. The individuals featured in the 2017 edition of The Heritage Calendar are role models through their integrity, commitment, and dedication to excellence. We hope you will enjoy and be inspired by their stories, as we have been.

University Microfilms International 300 N
INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, chawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

REP. DANIEL TERRY BLUE, JR., NC HOUSE Interviewer
SOHP Series: The North Carolina Politics Project TAPE INDEX-- REP. DANIEL T. BLUE, JR. Interviewee: REP. DANIEL TERRY BLUE, JR., N.C. HOUSE Interviewer: Joseph Mosnier Interview Date: Friday, Jan. 19, 1996 Location: Blue’s downtown law office, Raleigh, NC Tape No.: 1.19.96-DB (cassette 1 of 1) (approximate total length 70 minutes) Topic: An oral history of Daniel T. Blue, Jr. Blue has been a major figure on the North Carolina political landscape and pioneering African American political leader since the early 1980s, serving since 1981 in the NC House and as that body’s first-ever African American Speaker during the 1991-92 and 1993-94 legislative terms. Born April 18, 1949, in Lumberton, Robeson County, NC, Blue was educated in the local segregated public schools, earned a degree in mathematics from North Carolina College in Durham (now North Carolina Central University) between 1966 and 1970 during a period of ongoing civil rights protests in Durham, and then attended Duke Law School, graduating in 1973. From 1973-76, Blue practiced law in Raleigh in former NC governor Terry Sanford’s politically well-connected law firm, and began his involvement in local Democratic Party and African American politics. In 1976, Blue departed the Sanford firm to co-found Thigpen, Blue & Stephens, an all-black Raleigh law firm. In these years Blue led the Wake Black Democratic Caucus, which challenged the established Raleigh-Wake Citizens Association by appealing to a younger and more progressive generation of black residents and activists. Blue narrowly missed election to the NC House in 1978, but since 1980 has won eight consecutive two-year terms.
