To The Editor: When I was born in Morganton in 1948, North Carolina was a deeply different place than it is today. We've gone from tobacco and textiles to tech and tourism. When I was born, we were legally segregated (I'm proud that my dad, a North Carolina judge named Brack Craven, helped put an end to that). Today we're a strongly diverse state. Yet what we value is consistent. We value our families, the outdoors, college basketball, and whether we can afford the essentials. We'd rather refrain from talking politics at the dinner table.

But that's only if we can afford to put food on that dinner table.
