(This trip, the Eastern NC team consists of 22 students, two UNC Law administrators, and several Center for Civil Rights attorneys who are traveling to Rocky Mount, Weldon/Roanoke Rapids, Scotland Neck, and Kinston.)
I worked and lived in Kinston for two summers with the UNC Community Campus Partnership . I had a great variety of experiences in Kinston. I lived in a firehouse while working with the City of Kinston. I wrote grants for LED streetlights and improvements to city buildings. I organized community meetings around downtown revitalization and helped administer grants. I studied the tax base and potential sources of revenue. I lobbied for methane gas capture at a landfill. I helped design an educational reform model in Lenoir County, funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. I helped link together the Southern Historical Collection at UNC’s Wilson Library and the family of Harvey Beech, the first African-American to graduate from UNC Law who was also a proud resident of Kinston.
