WRAL has mug shots for the 19 people arrested at yesterday’s Wake County school board meeting. The site also provides addresses for 16 of them. Nancy Petty, pastor at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, lives in Raleigh. William Barber lives in Goldsboro. It is not easy to find where Gregory Moss lives.
Among the others, Wake County residents were significantly underrepresented. The geographical breakdown:
- 4 – Durham (Durham County)
- 2 – Chapel Hill (Orange County)
- 1 – Carrboro (Orange County)
- 1 – Oxford (Granville County)
- 1 – Winston-Salem (Forsyth County)
- 1 – Elizabeth City (Pasquotank County)
- 1 – Goldsboro (Wayne County)
- 1 – Clayton (Johnston County)
- 1 – Whitsett (Guilford County)
And
- 3 – Raleigh (Wake County)
I don’t know about the others at the protest, but the arrests don’t indicate much home-grown opposition to the school board.
