Charles B. Aycock
Charles was the governor of North Carolina from 1901 to 1905. He was from Goldsboro and was a Democrat. He supported public schools for all races(universal education), and equalization, (the funding of schools in poorer counties at a greater rate than ones in richer counties). He did make it known to the public that the schools would be segregated, but he still pushed for more schools for blacks.

William Howard Taft
William was president of the United States from 1909 to 1913. He really did not want to be president in the first place. He actually wanted to be Chief Justice on the Supreme Court. His wife, however, pushed him to run for nomination, along with his then good friend, Theodore Roosevelt. And so he was elected, and spent four uncomfortable years in the White House. He was a very large man, and tended to eat when he was stressed. He ran for reelection along, but was relieved when Woodrow Wilson beat him out.
