Wilson NC – State clears Beacon Center of discrimination

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has found that there is no evidence to support the claim that The Beacon Center discriminated against minority service providers.

The report, which was issued Wednesday, was made at the request of The Beacon Center’s board of directors and Karen Salacki, executive director of The Beacon Center. The state looked into allegations that the center targeted and pulled endorsements of minority service providers, effectively putting them out of business. (Wilson Times)
