[Durham INC] [WHHNA-list] Fwd: [owdna] Videos recall Paul Luebke's life and victories

Wed Nov 2 20:50:24 EDT 2016

Paul and Fran were the vanguard in our neighborhood: one of the very first young progressive families to move in, inspiring their friends to follow and slowly, beginning in 1979, taking over the Democratic precinct meetings and turning Watts Hillandale and Durham into the accepting community we are proud to live in now. We all owe Paul a lot. RIP, Paul.

He recalls with particular pride the repeal of North Carolina's food tax. "People don't know how hard it was to fight that battle." (5:33)
