CoastLine: Our ancestors were slaves But this NC farming family learned how to thrive and they re passing those lessons on to the next generation

Ms. Cecile Keaton Bryant and Ms. Earnestine Keaton on their family farm. It’s hard enough to keep a small family farm going. But add to that the challenges of systemic and environmental racism and the Keatons’ accomplishment becomes even less likely. But it’s their commitment to keeping their land, farming it, and teaching the next generation that has protected their family legacy. Less than 30 miles inland from the coast, in rural, southeastern North Carolina, there sits a 40-acre tract of land that has been in the Keaton family for generations. The ancestral connection goes back more than a century, to a time when their great-great-grandparents left slavery behind.

Editorial: Moving muni elections here not necessary in this cycle

Comments from the leaders of the General Assembly at the close of last week indicate the Bladen County Board of Elections, and others across the state, will not be forced by lawmakers to move this fall’s municipal elections. That’s good news. Nearly 90 percent of the state’s precincts don’t need the census data back in order to conduct this election cycle. Pleas by Karen Brinson Bell, the executive director of the state Board of Elections, and others that focus on “confusion” are only sowing the seeds by suggesting the unnecessary move. In Bladen County, there are likely to be between 5,000 and 6,000 registered voters who can cast a vote in Elizabethtown, Bladenboro, White Lake, Clarkton, East Arcadia, Dublin or Tar Heel elections. In the 2019 municipal elections, turnout was 2,086 of the 5,651 registered 36.9 percent, which was a healthy jump from the 22.8 percent (1,295 of 5,668) two years before that and the 23.5 percent (1,310 of 5,563) in 2015.
