What is Telling the Full Story: The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough’s Telling the Full Story program seeks to uncover and share the diverse, often untold histories of Hillsborough. Through community conversations, interactive maps, and oral histories, this program invites everyone to explore the people, events, and places that have shaped our community, fostering a richer understanding of our shared heritage.
February 20th: Community Institutions
Discover the vital role of community institutions in shaping local history. Focused on Dickerson Chapel AME Church and the former Central High School, which also hosted Agnes Kindergarten, attendees will learn about the central place these institutions held in the lives of African Americans in the area. Through oral histories and lively discussion, we will explore how these sites fostered education, faith, and community during a time of segregation and change.
