When Senator Barack Obama addressed a group of loyal Democrats in Raleigh yesterday- he didn't walk out on stage alone. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was joined by North Carolina native Gloria Craven. This mother and grandmother was one of the thousands of textile workers who lost their jobs back in 2003 when Pillowtex Corporation shut down. Leoneda Inge tells us a little bit more about Craven and how she got her 15 minutes of fame.
