In the first part of the recording, Harvey Gantt speaks with unknown interviewers in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He responds to accusations from his opponent, Jesse Helms, and attacks Helms on his record on issues relating to seniors and education. He says that Helms campaigns by tearing down opponents, and has accused him of using his minority status to get special treatment and making money and using his architectural firm unethically. Gantt addresses Helms's infamous "Hands" ad. Gantt also answers questions on and discusses seniors on fixed incomes, Medicare, job security, pensions, minimum wage, Social Security, and federal government's role in education. Audio switches between group talking, to standing by the street, to an interview.
