Salisbury, North Carolina
--- Dr. Ada M. Fisher of Rowan County, a community activist and former
US Congressional candidate, as well as previous member of the Rowan
Salisbury Board of Education is in support of keeping the Lincoln Park
pool. Fisher notes “This facility is the one public facility without
financial cost where kids can congregate on our side of town. It is
ironic that we speak of the gang problem in this city yet are fast
removing those facilities located in areas where our children are most
at risk. This is the same thing that happened to the Paul Laurence
Dunbar School in East Spencer, NC” which Fisher says should be
reacquired as a Center for Alternative Educational Excellence the RSS
Board of Education and Rowan County Commissioners.
Fisher says that stopping
citizens who are minding their business or walking in groups is a
violation of their constitutional right of Free Assembly. In an effort
to curb perceived violence we must be very wary of trampling the
constitution.
