Communities of Faith: American Indian Churches in Eastern North Carolina
|
In North Carolina, following the Civil War, the government passed laws segregating public facilities by race. Restrooms, theaters, and schools were divided for “white” and “colored” people, but American Indians did not consider themselves “colored,” a term used to mean African American. Many American Indians formed their own churches to separate and preserve their distinct racial and cultural identity. This article appeared in the Fall 2005 issue of Tar Heel Junior Historian magazine.
