Wanda Hunter is Thursday’s Hometown Hero.

She is an adjunct associate professor in the University of North Carolina Department of Social Medicine.  Dr. Deborah Stroman nominated Hunter.  Dr. Stroman says that Wanda is a real leader for social justice and equity.  She does anything she can do to help.  She is being recognized for her courage and boldness to help make our town the best it can be.  Our country and community need racial healing, and Wanda Hunter has been a strong, steady voice for just that.
