Dustin Sellers, who grew up in modest means in Anson County, is now determined to help minority students like himself, applying the life lessons he learned in high school, at Winston-Salem State University, and at a program supported by WSSU’s Center for the Study of Economic Mobility (CSEM).
This month Winston-Salem’s oldest and most respected community newspaper is celebrating our 48th anniversary. A lot has changed since the paper was started in 1974, but when it comes to providing relevant local content, The Chronicle is still in a league of its own.
Leading up to the start of the 2022-2023 school year, dozens of nonprofits, businesses and other organizations held school supplies and book bag giveaways for local students. Instead of opting for the norm, Rally Up Winston-Salem invited the community to come together and pray for local students before the start of the new school year.
