Goals.
Historic Wilmington Foundation is partnering with a community advocate Kathy King to preserve and protect Wilmington’s historic African-American Maides Cemetery. University of North Carolina-Wilmington joined in to conduct ground-penetrating radar to help determine the cemetery’s limits as well find out more about those interred there.
Historic Wilmington’s website links an enviable storymap that reveals the cemetery’s history in detail.
Thanks to Jane Cooke Hawthorne for the tip!

This is absolutely what COULD happen in Wilson with the right hearts and minds. Odd Fellows and Vick are OPPORTUNITIES for good.
