Did you know that during the segregation era, North Carolina’s African American families paid their taxes, then donated the equivalent of an additional $9.3 million dollars to build schools for their children? Read “The Other George Davis” by Claudia Stack and Richard T. Newkirk, and learn how an African American professor from Wilmington, NC helped communities around the state to build Rosenwald schools. Thank you Port City Daily for helping us to share the story of Dr. George E. Davis, whose profound influence on North Carolina is still felt today.
