The black high schools some places were named Carver or Douglass or Booker T.
Wilson’s was C.H. Darden. (Shout out to my father — Class of ’52.)

I would like to thank you again, for all of your posts about Wilson, NC. Every time I read an article, especially, during the late 19th century to 1920, I think about my ancestors that resided there during that time. However, ALL of your posted articles are so informative and enlightening. The pictures are beautiful, also. I just can’t thank you enough.

Thanks, Linda. You are among the readers I had hoped to reach when I began this blog a year ago — those whose distant roots were in Wilson Countu.
The picture of those four students, is nothing less than exquisite. However, I do not consider my grandfather as a distant relative because I knew my grandmother. The issue with my grandfather was, he died when he was 37 or 38, therefore, he never knew any of his grandchildren and his 5 children were between the ages of 8 and a new born. Subsequently, they knew very little of him, also. I hope you continue to post about Wilson, NC. It was such an INTERESTING place.
Thanks for the clarification. I know what you mean; my grandfathers died long before I was born, too. As for the photo, that’s my dad and friends!
