New Resource

On Friday I meet Lola Linda Sampson Franks James. Her family is one of the oldest black families living in Wilmington. Her family Has lived here since the 1700s. Her family was involved in the 1898 race riots. And she knows stories passes down orally from her family. She also knows places and other families that have information. As she has lived here she has observed the racism, progression and decline of communities in the area. She is very excited about sharing and documenting her information with us
