Abstract:
The Outer Banks’ association with aircraft can also be attributed to David Driskill. In fact, from his ferrying of provisions, parcels, pay, and people, he became synonymous with flight for generations of locals. Acknowledgment of his two decades’ plus of service is attested in an article from another local famed figure, Aycock Brown, and a monument, erected after his death in a plane crash in 1952.

Abstract:
Browning proposed remembering Davie as more than the founding father status of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He included Davie’s contribution to the Great Compromise at the Constitutional Convention. This contribution was made possible by the educational experience at Princeton, which for Davie yielded academic achievement.

Abstract:
A coalition of local African American leaders and George Vanderbilt’s philanthropic support yielded Asheville’s Young Men’s Institute. The nonsectarian school offered educational and cultural opportunities for Western North Carolina African American communities. Its two-fold mission was to open the door for personal advancement in society and help dispel racist attitudes that often kept this door closed for African Americans.
