Abstract:

The Safe Bus, at one point the largest black-owned transportation company in the world, was a big part of the community it served and remains a point of pride in Winston-Salem 44 years after it closed. Many people say that segregation gave birth to Safe Bus and integration ended it.

Abstract:

How did the early settlers get their water? Main sources were wells, rainwater cisterns, river, and springs, but water from a faucet was unheard of. In the Moravian settlement at Salem, however, a waterworks was installed in 1778. Ratcliff describes how this system, which began with the use of bored oak and heart-of-pine logs, was created.
