Abstract:
Cecelski reports on a 2009 community oral history project in New Bern, titled \"African American Voices Between Two River.\" Over two dozen elderly black community leaders in Craven County were interviewed, and the project focused on African Americans born in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. These individuals lived in the aftermath of one of the worst disasters in North Carolina history - the great New Bern fire of 1922.

Abstract:
Approximately one-third of North Carolina's population are African Americans; however, there are still hindrances in the state to their success as citizens. In the interest of all North Carolinians, it is the duty of the state to provide better housing, better health care, and better educational opportunities to this population of the state.
