Eno Journal, Vol. 10, No. 1 "Ribbons of Color: The History of African Americans and People of Color Living Along the Eno River"

Ribbons of Color: The History of African Americans and People of Color Living Along the Eno River are first and second-hand stories of those who have long lived in the Eno watershed. Music, War, Baptism, Indigenous Beadwork, and local historical figure Fannie Breeze are just a few of the themes of the stories included in Ribbons of Color. The journal’s articles are gathered from interviews, first-person narratives, and family lore of a dozen authors ranging from members of the Saponi Nation, historians, and others including notably Dr. Freddie Parker,  Charlene Whitted Campbell, Alexandra Sutton Lawrence, Kris Mayfield, and Beverly A. Scarlett.

Eno River Journals have been published intermittently since the spring of 1973 as a special gift from the Eno River Association to our membership. Dormant since 2000, we are thrilled to have revived the Eno River Journal during Black History Month 2021 with this, Volume 10 Number 1, of the series.
