The New WRAL

Jesse Helms is probably rolling over in his recording studio.
 
WRAL, the station that used to run Helms’ editorials opposing desegregation, is now running editorial messages opposing resegregation.
 
That’s how much Jim Goodmon has changed the station.
 
(Does anybody remember when WRAL used to sign off at night by playing “Dixie” instead of the national anthem? Yes, children, stations used to sign off at night!)
 
More power to Goodmon for it.
 
Even better, the Wake School Board Mullahs are mad about it.
 
Which is another irony. Used to, Yankees were the ones telling us to desegregate our schools. Now it’s Yankees telling us to resegregate.
