Celebrating Black History Month at the Library
Chanda Platania
Neuse Regional Library
This month is Black History Month and Neuse Regional Libraries are taking this opportunity to celebrate the many chapters of black history that are directly connected to Kinston and the Neuse Region. Just last week we had a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Green Book locations in Kinston and other efforts to increase historic preservation of important black history sites in Kinston and the region.
On Tuesday, February 9 at 6:30 p.m., community members gathered in the Schechter Auditorium of the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library and via Zoom to learn about the Green Book Project and its connections to Kinston. The program, led by Angela Thorpe, director of the North Carolina African American Heritage Commision, covered the last three years of research by the Commission with a focus on the sites that were located right here in Kinston.

Not many people in Windsor may be aware of historic Fort Wayne on Detroit’s riverfront, but that could change given its soon-to-be prominent location at the foot of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge.
Dating back to the property being a Native-American burial ground in the 1700s, it’s also the location where the treaty to end the War of 1812 was signed. It became a training ground for the Civil War and a military outpost for several generations, but much of the fort has sat largely vacant and rotting since the cash-strapped city of Detroit gained control of the 96-acre site in the 1970s.
