Abstract

This case study focuses on a dilemma connected to the African American Cultural Trail (AACT) in Greenville-Pitt County, North Carolina, in the United States, and to the context, culture, and tourism in the area. The trail commemorates the history of, and impacts made by African Americans in the region. An additional site, which was once part of what is known as the Green Wreath plantation, has been proposed as part of the cultural trail because it served as a leisure activity site for African Americans in the 1920s and has an interesting, complex, history. The dilemma in the case revolves around whether the site should become part of the AACT and if so, how it can be included in the trail and made acceptable to the stakeholders. Furthermore, perspectives of collective memories, including social constructivism and community solidarity, may play a role in terms of whether the stakeholders believe that the site should be included in the AACT.
