The Down East Journal (04/29/16)

This week on the Down East Journal, a school house for African American children on the Outer Banks once facing demolition may now become a museum and store, paying tribute to the community's past. We talk to the new building owner about future plans to renovate a Rosenwald School in Currituck County.  Plus, it was a loud, fierce competition as high school student teams from across the country faced off in Morehead City for the National Ocean Sciences Bowl.  And, an event in downtown New Bern seeks to bring the black and white communities together for change.  We talk with Vice Chairman of the non-profit Faith Connections  about the free screening of "Racial Taboo."
