Discover Captivating Stories of Fuquay-Varina's Black History through the Landmark Project |
One such story is that of Pine Acres Community Center, where a determined group of leaders united to create a space for the Lincoln Heights Community in the early 1960s. Today, Pine Acres Community Center operates as a non-profit, overseen by a volunteer board of directors, and is maintained by dedicated volunteers. Their commitment reflects a deep pride in preserving the legacy of those who worked tirelessly to establish the center.
Lifelong resident and long-time Commissioner Bill Harris shares his recollections in this fascinating conversation.
The Landmark project is a partnership between the Town of Fuquay-Varina and the Black History Stakeholders Group.
