North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Prior to the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, the majority of African Americans in the United States were enslaved persons living in the southern states. Education for African Americans was sparse, especially in the South with laws such as North Carolina's that prohibited teaching enslaved persons to read and write. It was a rare occurrence for an African American to be literate. While there were a few schools dedicated to African American education in the North prior to the Civil War, the first college available to African Americans in the South was Shaw University, which opened its doors in 1865. A number of institutions dedicated specifically for the education of African Americans were founded in the era immediately following the Civil War and others followed when segregation limited equal access to education. These schools are often known as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or "HBCUs". North Carolina has twelve historically black colleges and universities, including the oldest in the South, Raleigh's Shaw University, founded in 1865, and North Carolina's newest HBCU, North Carolina Central University, founded in 1910 in Durham. Ten of these schools continue to operate today.

    Grover's Grill

    Grover's Grill The 43rd Carolinas PGA Hall of Fame Inductee!! Grover Bullin, PGA, was the Golf Professional here at Wilson Country Club from 1947 to 1989. Not only did he help shape what we all love about this great Club, but he is also a cornerstone of developing the game of golf in Eastern North Carolina. Grover was known for his selfless approach to the game and his work to cultivate programs for junior and women golfers. Following his retirement from Wilson Country Club, Bullin continued to grow the game by teaching lessons for the Wilson County Parks and Recreation Department, and developed fundraisers for underprivileged youth in the area. Grover Bullin was voted Carolinas PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 1962. He served on the CPGA Board of Directors from 1964-1966. Wilson Country Club gives a Golf Scholarship at Barton College annually in his name. The Grover Bullin Endowed Scholarship was established in 1989, at the time of his retirement, and is used in place of institutional aid to a member of the golf team. Our Grillroom was renamed Grover’s Grill in 2013 to honor Bullin’s incredible commitment to Wilson Country Club. Thank you for dining with us. Bon appétit!
