👑 STANLY COUNTY BLACK HISTORY – DAY 20

The Lens from Gibson Street

Sometimes history isn’t wrong.

Sometimes it’s just viewed from the wrong direction.

For years, most conversations about this site have centered on Lundix Street.

But what happens when you turn around
and look from Gibson Street instead?

When you align:

đź“Ť The 1930s parcel map
đź“Ť Rosenwald site recommendations
đź“Ť The Fisk University photograph
đź“Ť The present-day lot orientation

The placement begins to shift.

The open yard makes more sense.

The trades/industrial space makes more sense.

The building alignment makes more sense.

And the question becomes:

Have we been remembering the structure correctly —
or just remembering it from the wrong side?

This isn’t accusation.
It’s orientation.

Perspective changes placement.
Placement changes interpretation.

And sometimes clarity isn’t about new evidence —
it’s about standing in a different spot.

Day 21 — we talk about the building itself.

👑 STANLY COUNTY BLACK HISTORY – DAY 19
Did You Know About the Fires?

Let’s talk about the part nobody wants to sit with.

Stanly County had six Rosenwald-funded Black schools:
New London. Cottonville. Kingville. Oakboro. Norwood. Porter.

That’s not opinion. That’s documented.

Now here’s the part that raises eyebrows…

Of those six —

🔥 Four were factually destroyed by fire.
🏫 One is still standing.
❓ One? Nobody can clearly prove whether it burned… or didn’t.

Pause.

Because this is where the “coincidences” start stacking.

People say, “Well, fires happened back then.”
Sure. They did.

But four out of six?

And then there’s Kingville.

We know this:
đź“ś In 1949, expansion was approved.
đź’° Insurance reform and state funds were being restructured.
🔥 In 1950 — the Kingville shop building burned.
🏗️ It was rebuilt. Relocated. Oversight shifted.

Now here’s where geography speaks louder than rumors.

There is an open space — the large clearing near what people now reference by Kevin Davis’s grandmother’s old garden, near the motorcycle club.

That location geographically aligns with where the earlier structure would have stood.

Do we have a signed confession? No.
Do we have proof that specific building burned as “the schoolhouse”? Not yet.
Do we have documented proof that a vocational shop burned in that exact window of expansion and funding shifts? Yes.

So the question isn’t accusation.

The question is pattern.

Why were so many Black educational structures in this county lost to fire?

Why did expansion approvals and insurance reforms sit right beside destruction and rebuilds?

Why do we know exactly where some burned…
but others fade into “oral memory” without documentation?

Progress has a pattern.

Sometimes growth follows funding.
Sometimes relocation follows oversight.
And sometimes… destruction comes right before control shifts.

This isn’t conspiracy.

It’s documented timelines.
It’s maps.
It’s board minutes.
It’s land transfers.
It’s what was rebuilt — and where.

The mystery isn’t whether fires happened.

The mystery is why they happened so often… to the same communities… at pivotal moments.

For more — be there Sunday.
