Press release opposing the reelection of Senator Jesse Helms and supporting Governor Jim Hunt in the 1984 North Carolina Senatorial election. In foreign affairs, Helms has on every occasion supported militarism in Central America, opposed economic assistance for poverty-stricken Third World nations, and has led the fight to support minority-ruled governments like South Africa. Helms’ legislative record represents perhaps the most consistently hostile voting pattern on the issues most important to the lives of black people.
