My last name of Terrell has quite a few African-American ancestors. My mother's maiden name is Williams and is know to have quite a few ancestors of African-American descent.

So what was the point of this article? I though Senator Rand is running unopposed this fall? So again, what is the point of this article?

Kudos to Tony Rand for his interest and enthusiasm in family ties that include African Americans. He sets a good example for a lot of us.

Wow, what an opportune tie in for Tony as a NC democrackkk...you'd think he might have chosen discretion over flamboyance.
