Book Chapter

Overview
On March 18, 1975, Attorney Deborah Mailman entered the Terry Sanford Federal Building and Courthouse located on New Bern Avenue in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. In her leather briefcase, she held a complaint and preliminary injunction alleging a myriad of constitutional violations to be filed with the clerk of court. The North Carolina Prisoners’ Labor Union (NCPLU), Incorporated was named as the plaintiff.1 North Carolina secretary of corrections David L. Jones and North Carolina commissioner of corrections Ralph Edwards were named as the defendants. There was a great irony that the NCPLU’s complaint was being filed in a building named after Terry Sanford. Although his past career included successful bids a senator, governor, university dean, and presidential candidate, he was most known for establishing the North Carolina Fund, which aimed to lessen minority poverty and further the cause for civil rights in North Carolina during the 1960s.2 Even greater, the North Carolina Fund served as a catalyst for such national programs as Head Start, Community Action Movement, and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA): the former organization where black radicals Jim Grant and TJ Reddy volunteered before they were incarcerated in Raleigh’s Central Prison for their involvement in the Charlotte Three case.
