Please plan to join us Tuesday, September 5 at 7:00 p.m. for the final Mitchell County Historical Society program for 2023 which is entitled “Railroaded: The Spruce Pine Race Riot of 1923.” You will see and hear a factual account of the events surrounding the riot that took place September 26 and 27, 1923 when African-Americans were forcibly deported from the Spruce Pine, NC area along with the response to the riot from the State of North Carolina and from local authorities. Admission is free. Please bring a lawn chair and your questions. We will try to answer them to the best of our abilities. Tell friends and family about the program. All are welcome!
