Public is not aware of this Program,and so far North Carolina is the only state to come forward and apologize and attempt to compensate victims.now, the victims will have no aid, nor will this painful part of history be forgiven and these people get the help that they need.If your Office will provide funding, for the Board the survivors can be located and helped.
