Horace King was one of the most sought after bridge builders in the south during the 19th century. King was born into slavery around 1807 on a South Carolina plantation. Freed in 1846, he became the most respected Black architect and engineer of his time.
We have a choice every day — to act on yesterday's good intentions or get an early start on tomorrow's regrets. ~Robert Brault
On #ThisDay 1936, 18 year old Helen Clevenger is murdered in Asheville's Battery Park Hotel.
#ThisDay 1975, Dr. Laurence Jones dies in Jackson, Mississippi. Dr. Jones dedicated his life to education & students at Piney Woods School in rural Rankin County. He was a fervent believer in noblesse oblige, the idea that those who have been given much have an obligation to those who are less privileged. As a well educated Black man, born during Reconstruction, he had opportunities many of his race had never known.
A new episode of my Southern Mysteries podcast is available today.
The new episode of my Southern Mysteries podcast focuses on the murder of Walter Samples.
