520    "John Hervey Wheeler (1908-1978) was one of the civil 
       rights movement's most influential leaders. In 
       articulating a bold vision of regional prosperity grounded
       in full citizenship and economic power for African 
       Americans, this banker, lawyer, and visionary would play a
       key role in the fight for racial and economic equality 
       throughout North Carolina. Utilizing previously unexamined
       sources from the John Hervey Wheeler Collection at the 
       Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library, this
       biography explores the black freedom struggle through the 
       life of North Carolina's most influential black power 
       broker. After graduating from Morehouse College, Wheeler 
       returned to Durham and began a decades-long career at 
       Mechanics and Farmers (M&F) Bank. He started as a teller 
       and rose to become bank president in 1952. In 1961, 
       President Kennedy appointed Wheeler to the President's 
       Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, a position in 
       which he championed equal rights for African Americans and
       worked with Vice President Johnson to draft civil rights 
       legislation. One of the first blacks to attain a high 
       position in the state's Democratic Party, Wheeler became 
       the state party's treasurer in 1968, and then its 
       financial director. Wheeler urged North Carolina's white 
       financial advisors to steer the region toward the end of 
       Jim Crow segregation for economic reasons. Straddling the 
       line between confrontation and negotiation, Wheeler pushed
       for increased economic opportunity for African Americans 
       while reminding the white South that its future was linked
       to the plight of black southerners"--|cProvided by
