Harvey Gantt gives a speech at the Unity Dinner in Guilford County, a fundraising event organized by the Democratic Party of North Carolina. He commends the resiliency and strength of the state of North Carolina, but announces that it is not because of the policies that Senator Helms has helped pass, but in spite of his senatorship. Gantt warns against a growing sentiment of distrust for political representatives simply because they are representatives and encourages people to elect leaders they want to work for their betterment.
