Chronicles one of the most sustained and successful protests of the civil rights movement - the 1968-69 school boycott in Hyde County, North Carolina. For an entire year, the county's black citizens refused to send their children to school in protest of a desegregation plan that required closing two historically black schools in their remote coastal community.

A study of slavery in the maritime US South. It chronicles the world of the slave and free black fishermen, pilots, rivermen, sailors, ferrymen and other labourers who, from the colonial era through to Reconstruction, plied the vast inland waters of North Carolina.

A new, annotated edition of an important slave narrative first published in 1922. Written by William Henry Singleton, who had been a slave on a Craven County, North Carolina plantation, this volume is a compelling account of a long and remarkable journey from slavery to freedom in the American South. Singleton recounts his years as a slave in antebellum North Carolina, his escape to Union-occupied territory during the Civil War, and his wartime service in the African Brigade, before concluding with a brief sketch of his life after 1865.
