Questioning holding the OCR public meeting at Martin Street Baptist

Is it a sign of bias that federal civil rights investigators looking into Wake County's elimination of the diversity policy are holding Wednesday's community meeting at Martin Street Baptist Church?

As noted in today's article by Thomas Goldsmith, the feds asked the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, one of the complainants, to find them a location. The site chosen by SCSJ has been one of the centers of opposition to ending the diversity policy.

“The Office of Civil Rights wanted to have a communitywide meeting,” said Anita Earls, SCSJ executive director. “They gave us the date and time and asked us to find a venue. The purpose is for them to listen to the experiences and the concerns of the community.”
