NC Civil Rights Trail
Ocean City Beach
The NC African American Heritage Commission will join communities across the state to physically mark sites critical to the Civil Rights Movement in North Carolina. Between 2021 and 2023, 50 markers will be placed in counties across the state, highlighting and acknowledging tireless civil rights efforts that are well known and, in some cases, unsung. Ten of these markers will be placed in Hometown Strong counties (rural counties that have been identified as Tier 1 or Tier 2)
