In Historical Marker Fight, Edenton Revisits a Painful Era

For years, Lew Powell has wanted the state to force a reckoning and install a historic marker near the former Little Rascals Day Care Center in Edenton. That’s the spot that in 1989 launched a spate of child abuse accusations and prosecutions of seven people who came to be known as the Edenton Seven. The case grabbed headlines in national publications such as the New York Times and Elle magazine. Powell and others who support the Edenton Seven compare their prosecutions to the famed Salem witch hunt hysteria in the late 17th century.

Maritime initiative aims to keep shipbuilding jobs in NC

China has the world’s largest navy and more than 200 times the shipbuilding capacity of the United States. That's according to a U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence data first reported in July 2023. With American maritime supremacy under threat, a growing consortium of North Carolina colleges, advanced manufacturers, industry suppliers and other workforce development partners has joined forces to answer that national security concern with skilled workers, a tighter supply chain, cybersecurity development and more. Eastern North Carolina and its deep maritime legacy took center stage Nov. 5 at a listening session for the North Carolina Maritime Manufacturing Initiative, held at the K.E. White Graduate Center at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), which hosted the event. North Carolina State University Industry Expansion Solutions (IES) and the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) launched the NCMMI in 2025. “What we’re really talking about is finding a workforce for advanced manufacturing,” said Margaret Roberton, vice president for workforce development and chief of staff at Central Carolina Community College, another partner in the initiative. “We have a lot of manufacturing in North Carolina, which I think is fantastic, but we also need to have a robust talent pipeline.” That means not only preparing

Between Richmond And Norfolk Is A Virginia Archaeological Site With A Fascinating Museum And River Views

While colonial landmarks can be found up and down the East Coast, few states lay claim to as many well-preserved colonial sites as Virginia. For most, Williamsburg is likely the first to spring to mind; its restored buildings, horse-drawn carriages, and costumed historical interpreters have made it one of the most famous living museums in the nation, if not the world. But less than 10 miles southwest lies another of Virginia's colonial capitals that, unlike the cobblestone streets of Williamsburg, is buried mostly beneath the soil.
