Leach W-S teacher gets pardon Decades after she gave her life to God, McCrory grants educa- tor-evangelist clemency BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE Although it came on a few days after Dec. 25, local educator and international evangelist Janet Taylor received a Christmas present she has waited more than two years to receive. As she sat at home nursing a cold last week, Taylor received a phone call from the Governor's Office granting her a pardon for crimes she committed in the late 1980s. While Taylor turned her life around nearly 23 years ago, it wasn't until Thursday, Dec. 29, that Gov. Pat McCrory had pardoned the charges on her record on his last day in office. Even though Taylor would go on to earn her bachelor’s degree from Winston-Salem State University after her release from prison in 1994 and had been working in the local school system since 2003, it wasn't until after she received her master’s degree from North Carolina Central University in 2011 that her past seemed to hold the determined edu- cator back. Taylor said she never even thought about filing for a pardon until she was turned down for multi- ple principal and teaching positions here in Winston-Salem and other See Pardon on A5 Photo by Tevin Stinson Janet Taylor poses with a photo of her par- don from former N.C.

BY CASH MICHAELS FOR THE CHRONICLE Since it opened to the public on Feb. 1, 2010, the International Civil Rights Center and Museum (ICRCM) in Greensboro has been besieged with more negative headlines than not. “Sit-in museum owes $933,155 in loan repayment by 2018.” “Audit reports debt and loss for civil rights museum; director disagrees.” “Greensboro civil rights museum owes $57K in prop- erty taxes.” Through it all, ICRCM CEO/CFO John L. Swaine has battled back, reminding all of the profound signifi- cance of the civil rights museum, the unique place in North Carolina, national and world history that it forever holds, and the tremendous economic and civic contributions it has made to down- town Greensboro and the state since its founding in 1994 by Melvin “Skip” Alston and Earl Jones.

Love, in an open letter published locally in March of last year, stated, “In my opinion, the majority of local media coverage regarding ICRCM’s financial position has been unclear, at best.” “[R]ecent and historic coverage has clearly misled consumers as to the true financial status, challenges and successes of the organization,” Love added. Owned by the private, nonprofit Sit-in Movement Inc., the museum is listed as the top attraction for visitors to see in Greensboro by the travel website TripAdvisor. As part of the United States Civil Rights Trail, ICRCM has been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by the National Park Service. “As we have demonstrated persistence and success up to this crucial stage, against continuing odds, we will remain a dynamic presence in this historic place for the community and as a resource for educators, students, and lifelong learners,” vowed Swaine in a recent 2016 appeal letter to museum supporters.
