On Thursday, November 12,1998
Ms. Charlene Teters, a national leader in the movement to eliminate the
use of Indian Mascots, traveled to Asheville, NC to deliver a public address
on the issue of Indian Mascots such as the one used at Erwin High School
in Buncombe County, NC. Erwin High School and the Buncombe County
School Board have been receiving an increasing level of national attention
due to their continued refusal to enforce the School Boards' non-discrimination
policy as it relates to American Indians. For more information on
Ms. Teters and her visit to Asheville follow the links below.
