Adrienne Nird\u00e9<\/strong>, Associate Director, NC African American Heritage Commission<\/p>\n For generations, people in North Carolina have used spaces and places to organize, strategize and protest to advance the civil rights of people of color, especially African Americans. It is here that young people \u2014 from Raleigh to Durham, from Elizabeth City to Greensboro \u2014 were activated to protest racial injustice. It is here where everyday people from Rocky Mount, to Robeson and Halifax Counties resisted oppression and intimidation. Leaders like Dovey Roundtree, Pauli Murray and Golden Frinks called our state home. The NC African American Heritage Commission is joining communities across the state to physically mark sites critical to the Civil Rights Movement in North Carolina.
