Freedom Hill

Princeville, NC sits atop wet, swampy land along the river. In the 1800s, the land was deemed uninhabitable by white people. After the Civil War, this indifference left it available for freed enslaved Africans. Once called ‘Freedom Hill,’ it was gradually established as an all-Black town. But the town has been inundated with flooding...and with each flood, a little more of the small town erodes.
