This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Manfred Makor.
Manfred Makor is a teacher at Northwood High School in Pittsboro. He’s also the founder of the non-profit Legacy Sports Academy. After fleeing his home country of Liberia due to the civil war, Makor has used his non-profit to help provide opportunities for youth in Liberia.

His work with Legacy Sports Academy has inspired the creation of Carrboro High School’s Legacy club by a student.
