Are you curious about the history of our local community? Head online and check out a new interactive timeline that focuses on Orange County’s indigenous and enslaved communities in the decades before the Civil War. It’s called “Common Ground in Orange County,” the joint project of local nonprofit Indigenous Memories and Charlotte-based organization Parklife – funded by a grant from America 250 NC, which is organizing events statewide to spotlight America’s history on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Aaron discusses the project with Judge Beverly Scarlett of Indigenous Memories and Parklife CEO Brian Castle.
