"I'm etting
don't 0 to trust
think you're doin ood

non, ingle p nt hi liv
bout a bl from where the
neighborhood fire tarted.
The true t are
likely the mo diverse g­
men of the popul tion -
poor, d.i dv ntaged Blac
and racist hi ,d cendan
of Confederate oldie and of
former ve owners.
The town rumor mill had
it that the Confederate build­
ing w burned by bl in
retaliation for the verdict in
the Rodney King beating trial
in Los Angeles or for the t
Green ood fire.
Authorities discount that
theory. Some believe the city
i in for long. bot ummer
filled with controversy.
Even ithout the fire ,
Greenwood' political atmo
phere is racially charged:
- An intense political
feud has developed among
Black and white members of
the Leflore County
Democratic Party over repro-
. sentation on that group's Ex­
ecutive Committee. The white
members claim they are not
fairly represented.
- Dr. Duane Hurt, the
son-in-law of Greenwood
Mayor Louis Fancher, is in a
battle with the Greenwood
Bo8Id of Education over sick­
leave records. Hurt has ac­
cused David Jordan, a 22-year
teaching veteran and longtime
leader in the Black com­
munity, of abusing the school
district's ick-leave policy.
- The City Council
for some time typically split
its votes along racial lines.
- Fancher and the city'
Black leac1C1Ship lDltil recent­
ly were in a bitter battle over
appointing the city attomey.
Investigators have few
leads in the neighborhood fire,
but have evidence that shows
an aocelemnt was used in the
fire at the Confederate build­
ing.
The east Greenwood fire
shifted into the political arena
this week when the City Coun­
cil raised questions about why
a nearby fire station was un­
manned when the block fire
broke out
Councilman Jordan
sought assurances from the
mayor that the station would
be manned a t all times.
Fancher said the city lacks the
manpower and re-sources to
man the station full-time.
Soon after the fire some
membeIS of the Black com­
munity expressed rage and
anger, saying no one bad sym­
pathy or was concerned about
their loss.
Charges abounded that
fire victims were being turned
away from assistance because
they were Black.
The Red Cross, which was
coordinating the relief effort,
denied those charges. _
