Abstract:
The First Colony Foundation’s efforts have yielded the recognition of its lesser known figures. Stafford’s contributions to European exploration included helping to lead the 1585 expedition and establish the Roanoke colony. Related to his identity is the author’s examination of several Stafford families possibly including him. Speculations of Stafford’s importance in permanent European settlements, had his life not been cut short, include involvement in Jamestown.

Abstract:
A freedom offered to slaves perhaps lesser known than the Emancipation Proclamation is religious expression. Contraband camps, established by Union troops for former slaves, provided a way for former slaves to openly express Christian faith. Along with African American religious leaders such as James Walker Hood, they helped establish the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. As for churches such as AMEZ, they also provided a sanctuary from racism and sowing ground for the seeds of political representation.

Abstract:
The Civil Rights movement’s seeds were planted decades earlier and in historically black colleges such as Bennett. Here, Bennett Belles were inspired by campus leaders like David Dallas Jones as much as nationwide leaders like Vernon Johns. Education and race consciousness fortified them to help instill equality through campus and community activism.

She encouraged students to participate in protests, inspired by the 1960 Woolworth’s sit in, and initiate blacks to become more politically involved, by registering to vote.

Abstract:
Davis illustrates how North Carolina’s Supreme Court from the antebellum period to the Great Depression was heavily influenced by two factors. One is English law, the other three of the state’s law schools. The extent of this influence is examined in how individuals like William Blackstone contributed to the state legislative branch's development. It is also examined in how these law schools’ curricula impacted law reform.

Abstract:
When it comes to Blackbeard, Moore’s examination of documents compiled over the centuries reveal the task of truth-finding’s complexity. This comes from the lure of the myth as much as the mixture of facts and falsehoods since 1716, the date of the earliest known source mentioning Captain Edward Thatch.

Abstract:
A tale many times told is likely to cite Queen Anne’s Revenge as the ship’s name, less so to note its French origins. Kenney-Watkins adds another layer of truth to the tale by including its relatively unknown African history in her discussion of conservation efforts begun in 1996.
