The Wilson Braves had a much better May than April 1932.

The nine played the Bull City Aces (of Durham), the Harlem (N.Y.) Black Sox, the Hamlet Airliners, the Camel City Aces (of Winston-Salem), and teams from Leaksville and Greenville and went 9-2.

About
Meet The Curators
The G. C. and Frances Hawley Museum is an online clearinghouse for the often hidden history and culture of Black people in and from North Carolina. We also host reference materials on Black people in the United States and internationally.

We have provided a place, through this Museum, where you can find information from many sources such as web-based content; open education resources (OER); print, video, and digital media; academic journals and books; documentary films; original materials including oral interviews and more importantly, what our readers share with us.

Your feedback is important to us and helps us provide as much information as possible about the rich history, heritage, and culture of Black people – especially in North Carolina.

Story and photos shared by K.L. Mercer, a descendant of the Marrow family from the Vance and Granville County areas. She became immersed in her family's history, story, twists, and turns when she moved to North Carolina in 2013. She and her family purchased a property in the area and later found out that the site was part of the Marrow Plantation, where her ancestors had been enslaved.

Today, the family celebrates doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, military service members, university presidents and so many more accomplishments by this humble, hardworking local family.
