Additional Resources

Many of my sources came from newspapers. I was lucky to have access to the Wilmington Morning Star via NewsBank as accessed through the New Hanover County Public Library. Below are a few of the stories I used to find information about these events.

I also used information and images from the Willistonian yearbook as accessed through DigitalNC. The header image is from the 1968 Willistonian.
