FLAT ROCK, N.C. (AP) - The Rev. William Barber has started a three-state get-out-the-vote tour that will take him to North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The tour started Friday in Flat Rock and will go to five other North Carolina locations: Henderson, Dunn, Warsaw, Winston-Salem and two stops in Greensboro.
On Nov. 3, Barber goes to Atlanta and then Cuthbert, Georgia. The tour ends Nov. 4 in Jacksonville, Florida.
Barber is known as the architect of the “Moral Monday” movement in North Carolina, where he also was president of the state chapter of the NAACP.
He is doing the get-out-the-vote effort through his role as president of Repairers of the Breach, a not-for-profit social justice organization focused on several groups, including communities of color, workers and immigrants.
