  • The Enslaved Workers of the Bellamy Site
    Wilmington, North Carolina The original slave quarters building, though now rare, was typical of urban slave quarters through- out the United States. A two-story brick building that is one room deep was common, but most slave quarters buildings were converted for other uses after the Civil War or let fall into disrepair and eventuallydemolished. The original slave quarters building at the Bellamy site underwent a complete restoration which was completed in 2014. The photograph above shows the building before the restoration process began. “Sarah...our own old cook...had been left here in charge of the premises.” For more than 70 years, most of what was known about the enslaved men, women, and children who lived and labored on the Bellamy’s Wilmington compound prior to the American Civil War came from Back With the Tide, the memoirs of Ellen D. Bellamy. She included the names and partial job descriptions of some, in quotes like the one above. When they fled the city in 1862, the Bellamys left as caretaker of their townhome Sarah, their enslaved cook and housekeeper. Recent research efforts by Bellamy Museum staff have revealed biographical information about several This publication was made possible of these enslaved workers who were previously only known by a first name in Ellen’s book.

  • The Evolution of African American History at Tryon Palace in New Bern, NC (Under the Direction of Gerald Prokopowicz) Department of History, May 2014
    ABSTRACT HARDY, STEPHANIE. Shedding Light on Dark Truths: The Evolution of African American History at Tryon Palace in New Bern, NC (Under the Direction of Gerald Prokopowicz) Department of History, May 2014. Tryon Palace was home to the first royal governors of North Carolina. Today, the site is one of the most visited historic sites in the state. But what stories are visitors hearing? The historic homes and buildings at the site display local history but African Americans have only recently penetrated the interpretation. This thesis acknowledges the difficulties of displaying topics that are sensitive and emotional for many audiences while investigating the tremendous amount of African American history surrounding Tryon Palace. The town of New Bern, NC has always maintained a diverse population and African Americans have played a significant role in the town’s history. Yet many are unfamiliar with this complex and unique story. This history both parallels and intersects with Tryon Palace in different eras. Using various primary and secondary sources, this thesis serves as a case study on how local African American history is interpreted at historic sites and museums. Much of the changes can be attributed to the African American Research Project, which was implemented in 1999. This endeavor created programs that brought African American history to the forefront of Tryon Palace’s interpretation.

  • African American Heritage
    A Guide to Wilmington’s African American Heritage 2 Though the United States of America was founded as a nominally free republic based on notions of freedom, justice, and equality, the existence of slavery overshadowed these ideals from its inception. In 1829, David Walker (1785- 1830), a pioneer African American abolitionist and Wilmington native, published Walker’s Appeal in Four Articles, which called for the immedi- ate and uncompensated emancipation of slaves. Subsequent abolitionist arguments denounced slavery on a variety of religious, moral and patri- otic grounds. When the Civil War began in 1861, slavery was the primary underlying cause of the conflict. On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued a wartime measure, the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, to abolish slavery. The proclamation stated that on January 1, 1863, “all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” The Emancipation Proclamation also autho- rized the enlistment of African Americans into the Union army and navy. The African Americans who served in the Union armed forces were not merely combatants. They also served as liberators, helping to free their sisters and brothers from the bondage of servitude. Ratified in December, 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States abolished slavery nationwide. — Dr. John Haley, Professor Emeritus University of North Carolina at Wilmington 3 In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of Wilmington’s Historic Preservation Commission, the city published, A Guide to Wilmington’s African American Heritage, featuring critical religious, educational, social, and cultural sites.
