Liberal Place: Durham, NC

These are comments on Durham, submitted by other Turn Left visitors. They do not necessarily represent the opinion of the webmaster. You may add a comment on Durham if you want.
Run by a ruling coalition of black and white liberals for almost 10 years now, Durham is one of the few cities in North Carolina that has such a progressive (yes, progressive...) agenda for its schools, environment, and local economy. In addition, Durham has some of the most liberal members of the NC House and Senate, and has helped elect the first Black US House member since Reconstruction, and turned out a Gingrich Republican Freshman in 1996.

Durham is the headquarters for the NC branch of NARAL, and was one of the key Gantt for Senate strongholds in both 1990 and 1996.
