Forsyth County Commissioner Don Martin, a Republican, says he canât see voting in favor of a resolution apologizing for past discrimination of Black people, nor supporting the concept of reparations.
Democratic County Commissioner Fleming El-Amin likes the idea, and thinks one form reparations could take locally might be support for scholarships to Forsyth Technical Community College or Winston-Salem State University.
Both commissioners talked about the topic in the wake of last weekâs passage by the Winston-Salem City Council of a resolution apologizing for the cityâs role in discrimination against Black people.
The idea has not come before the county board of commissioners, but if it does, Martin and El-Amin still might find some mutual ground despite the distance between their positions: Martin said he can support helping people who are disadvantaged with educational needs.
