The Museum of the Albemarle will host our monthly History for Lunch on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 12 p.m. in the Gaither Auditorium. The Museum of the Albemarle, a part of the Division of State History Museums, Office of Archives and History, is an agency of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.The 1898 Wilmington Massacre is one of the most infamous events in North Carolina history. Many are not aware, though, that other cities in the eastern half of the Tar Heel State had similar tensions, and one of these was Elizabeth City. Glen Bowman, PhD, of Elizabeth City State University, will explore the historical documents of the time in addressing whether something like the Wilmington Massacre could have happened in Elizabeth City.
The Museum will offer the History for Lunch program in-person and through Zoom.
