Who is the fifth recipient of a scholarship from the N.C. Legislative Black Caucus Foundation?
We don't know, but we do know who it could be. There are 28 members of the Black Caucus. Of them, we know that scholarships went to the granddaughter of Rep. Earline Parmon, the son of Rep. Larry Womble and the daughter of Rep. Jean Farmer-Butterfield, and the daughter of Rep. Alma Adams.
That leaves 24 possible members. Check back here this afternoon for a running list of who has said it wasn't a relative of theirs.
In addition, Adams said she would leave the decision up to the legislator, so we can rule out those who have died: Sen. Jeanne Lucas, Sen. Robert Holloman, Rep. Howard Hunter, Rep. John Hall and Rep. Bernard Allen.
First, Rep. Dan Blue was not in the legislature at that time, and Rep. Linda Coleman said it was not any of her relatives ... a staffer for Rep. Mickey Michaux said it was not him, although he personally refused to answer ... Rep. William Wainwright said it was not him ... Rep. Larry Hall said it was not him ... a staffer for Rep. Marvin Lucas said it was not him and that he designated his scholarship money for students from local churches ... Rep. Angela Bryant was appointed in January so it's not her either ...
If your legislator tells you that it wasn't them (or was), please contact us at dome@newsobserver.com.
