This Tiny North Carolina Town Is The Cultural Heart Of One Of America’s Largest Native American Tribes

It is hard for me to square the size of this town with the amount of history packed into it. In southeastern North Carolina, one small community became a center of Lumbee life, with a university founded in 1887 to train Native teachers growing alongside tribal institutions and traditions that still bring thousands of people together.

A robot fetches the books at one of these libraries. It’s called a bookBot, and it lets the building skip endless rows of shelves to make room for people instead. That detail hooked me fast. Then I learned another library on this list has an 85-foot Roman dome. Another...

One of Wilmington's biggest annual music festivals is set to return. On Nov. 6-7, the Port City Blitz music festival will bring some five dozen rock bands of various genres to Waterline Brewing beneath the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge downtown. The lineup includes not just local and regional acts, but national and internationally known bands. The Port City Blitz is organized by Wilmington musician Mike Grindstaff, who plays in the band Rocket 77 and started the festival in 2018 at The Barzarre on Castle Street. The Blitz then moved to midtown rock club Reggie's 42nd Street Tavern for a few years before moving to Waterline in 2024. This year marks the biggest Blitz yet, Grindstaff said, with 60 bands (up from 52 last year) over two days on a half-dozen stages. Headliners Veteran North Carolina thrash metal band Corrosion of Conformity, or CoC, is set to headline the Port City Blitz on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Wilmington National Cemetery Black Soldiers Section in Wilmington, North Carolina

In 1865, the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 27th, 37th and 39th United States Colored Troops (USCT) regiments fought in the Wilmington Campaign to liberate that city from the Confederates. When USCT soldiers fell, their comrades buried them in small cemeteries on the several battlefields where they had died or near the hospitals where they had drawn their last breath. Over the next two years, after the army had left Wilmington, some of the graves were lost and more were desecrated by returning Confederate veterans who were particularly angry that they had been defeated by former slaves. In 1867 a new cemetery was opened where Union dead would be buried securely. Black and white Union soldiers were buried here. Some died in the Wilmington Campaign and others died from disease afterwards while occupying the city during the early phases of Reconstruction. In addition, since some USCT lived their post-war lives in Wilmington, these Union veterans would be buried in this section even though they died long after the war.
