Abstract:
Princeville, home to 2,100 people, was devastated by Hurricane Floyd's flooding. Chartered in 1885, the town was one of the first in the United States founded by former slaves. An executive order issued by President William J. Clinton creates a special council to help preserve and protect Princeville during its rebuilding phase. Presidential executive orders rarely target one municipality for federal assistance.
Abstract:
Princeville, the oldest town chartered by Blacks in America has suffered much in the way of flooding, particularly in the past 20 years with Hurricanes Floyd and Mathew. A group of students with North Carolina State University's School of Architecture and Design have come up with a way to assist the town in keeping a museum with the use of a steel mobile structure designed for self-guided tours.
