African American Music Trail Celebration

The African American Music Trail, a living history project spearheaded by the NC Arts Council, came through eastern North Carolina with a daylong event on March 24, 2014, that happened at the University of Mount Olive. A lecture was led by a Michelle Lanier, a representative of the NC Department of Cultural Resources to describe the way the Music Trail project began and continues to evolve.
