Abstract:
Asheville’s Jewish community, long objects of prejudice, became a group tolerated by representatives of the city’s elite. It happened chiefly by their association with Zebulon Vance, being viewed as superior to African Americans, and efforts to memorialize Vance initiated by influential Jews such as Solomon Lipinsky.

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.
