Abstract

Between the branches of the Cape Fear River in coastal North Carolina, artifactual traces remain of a community remembered as Pocomoke. The dark poetry of historic place-names here attests to a past of racial oppression. The river branches meet to form Nigger Head Point; a bluff over the northwest branch is called Mount Misery. The A. employs documentary research and interviews to explore the significance of things remembered and forgotten about this post-Civil War African American community.
