A campaign is under way to identify leaders in Craven County African American communities.
It is a project of three New Bern nonprofits - Abundant Life Community Services, Religious Community Services and Habitat for Humanity of Craven County.
Abundant Life Pastor Hazel Royal said the ongoing struggle for equity and social justice in the black community has its local heroes and they need to be made known. The African American community needs to identify who our leaders are, she said.
There will be a public nomination process, which will be handled through a Facebook page, which will go live soon. The page will include criteria for nominees and forms on how to submit choices.
