The name Hazel Mack is well known throughout the city of Winston-Salem and across the state for many things: her work as an attorney with Legal Aid of North Carolina (LANC), a statewide nonprofit that provides free legal services in civil matters to low-income people; founding Carter G. Woodson School; serving as director of outreach of Wake Forest School of Law; and a host of other accomplishments. When discussing her journey through life, Mack said everything she’s achieved in life was set in motion in the summer of 1969 when decided to join the Winston-Salem chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP).
