Abstract:
"A devoted son honors his mom -- and all of North Carolina's mill workers -- through the Morganton-based Workers' Legacy Project". For 33 years, Mary Warlick served as a hosiery repairer at the Garrou-Morganton Full-Fashioned Hosiery Mills. The project gives former mill workers their due, preserving their memories through oral histories. This assemblage in turn is serving as a foundation for a documentary to be released in 2024. Partnering with the project is the History Museum of Burke County. On April 16, 2023, a monument referred to as the "Dignity of Work Monument", honoring mill workers was installed in front of the museum.
