Back from Vacation, Ready for a New Season

Labor Day is behind us (and Hurricane Dorian is coming up behind us).  And that means that this blog is back in business.  In business once Dorian has left–and the power is back on.

Between now and Memorial Day, I will have at least ten (maybe twelve) new posts based on primary source research, including

  • A multi-part series on a rogue cop whose crimes against African Americans would lead to something somewhat resembling justice;
  • The early history of African American Catholicism in northeastern North Carolina;
  • Slavery and wills–two unusual discoveries;
  • A New Bern school that succeeded well before the first Rosenwald School was ever built;
  • Something from Gates County;
  • And more, including some research from my students.
