Black History

 Black history in the Guilford area has always been present; it has too often been under-represented in the county’s public narratives. Local histories have traditionally centered founding families, their houses, and landscapes—with limited treatment of the labor, laws, and infrastructure that made those places possible. This section gives a voice to some of these forgotten Howard Countians. Please see the two links below to the true soul of Black history in the county: "HoCo Roots Revisited" and "i am Louisa".
