Abstract:
Mrs. Moffitt Sinclair Henderson of Salisbury used her personal copy of “Proceedings and Debates of the convention of North Carolina Called to Amend the Constitution of the State” as source material for her new book on the life of Samuel Price Carson. The volume, given to Mrs. Henderson by her maternal grandfather who was Carson's brother, contains eyewitness accounts of what may have been North Carolina's first public debate on civil rights. Delegates to the 1835 convention met in Raleigh to amend the original constitution of North Carolina and heard impassioned arguments by Carson supporting a failed bid to strike Article 32, which restricted Catholics and Jews from holding public office. Carson left North Carolina soon after the convention, following his friend Sam Houston to Texas and helping to establish that new Republic, eventually becoming its first Secretary of State.

Abstract:
Between 1925 and 1931, two “chapel trains” operated by the Catholic Church in North Carolina traveled through the state proselytizing. The trains operated as literal Catholic churches on wheels, complete with pews, an altar, an organ, and a sanctuary. One of the trains stopped in Morehead City in 1926 and 1928. The priest on board, Father Egbert Albert, left a lasting impression on the town’s residents. Following his death, the Morehead City Catholic Church was built in his memory.
