In Transit Blog: In North Carolina, Sites That Honor Black History

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 01 Februari 2014 | 17.35

Thirty-seven sites that highlight the contributions of African-Americans to the  business, spiritual, educational and civic life of   Wilmington, N.C.,  are detailed in the recently published African American Heritage guide.

Stops include the 1898 Monument and Memorial Park, remembering the people harmed in the racial uprising of that year and honoring those who have continued their work for racial progress; Chestnut Street Presbyterian Church, North Carolina's oldest African American Presbyterian church, built in 1858; and the intact slave quarters of the Bellamy Mansion, an urban plantation completed in 1861 and largely constructed by free and enslaved African-American artisans.

The trail reaches almost to Carolina Beach, to the few remains of Seabreeze, a recreational area developed in the 1920s that attracted black families from around the state, before integration opened all beaches to everyone. The 34-page free guide and map are available at Wilmington visitor information centers and online.
