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.

Little Free Library donated to Magnolia

MAGNOLIA — Closing the town library left a void in Magnolia. The century-old building that once housed books for readers of every age, alongside yellowed newspapers and historical documents, is gone — leaving residents to wonder where they can go to read a book in town. Angels Impact, Inc. found a way to fill that gap. Duplin County native Cynthia Swann Brinson recently spoke with Magnolia Commissioner Eric Graham about giving back to the community in a way that creates a lasting impact. "Today, we would like to offer the town a small token of our appreciation," Brinson said. "Our hope is this gift will provide a welcoming place where children, families and residents can sit, read, share books and discover the joy of learning — a place where someone can take a book, leave a book and perhaps find a little inspiration along the way." During the discussion, Brinson shared a rendering of the "Little Free Library," a mobile book-sharing box accompanied by a bench for seating. She noted the structure is expected to arrive by Nov. 14, though a final placement location in town has not yet been determined. "We know this small gift cannot replace a traditional

Long-awaited pedestrian bridge opens near the Lenovo Center in West Raleigh

The signature red steel bridge over Wade Avenue in West Raleigh opens Saturday, providing safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians along a stretch of Blue Ridge Road near the N.C. Museum of Art . The bridge and connecting sidewalks are the first in what could be several changes in how people move about the area around the Lenovo Center as it develops into a 24-hour destination in coming years. It’s a milestone in the development of the area, said Nathan Spencer of the West Raleigh Alliance, a community group . “This bridge is the culmination of years of work by the alliance, in partnership with NCDOT and the City of Raleigh, to create a safe, dedicated pedestrian crossing for everyone: residents, State Fair visitors, concertgoers, and Wolfpack and Canes fans alike,” said Spencer, who co-chairs the group’s transit and transportation committee. The bridge will officially open at 11:30 a.m. as part of a wider celebration organized by the alliance and the city. “West Raleigh Multimodal Day,” as the event is called, aims to highlight the various ways of moving to and through a part of the city that draws visitors from throughout the region. The bridge parallels Blue Ridge Road
