Mike Parker: Marker dedication and concert set for Sept. 25

A special part of Kinston’s history is going to be recognized on Saturday, Sept. 25. At 4 p.m. that day, the African American Heritage Commission of Kinston/Lenoir County will unveil a marker commemorating the listings Kinston had in The Negro Motorist Green Book. This book, compiled by Victor H. Green, provided a list of places that African American travelers could go to eat, spend the night, shop, and have their cars serviced and repaired.
