A History of Independence - Settled by freed slaves in 1865 and officially incorporated in 1885, Princeville, North Carolina is among the oldest towns in the United States founded by African-Americans. Princeville’s survival through prejudice, segregation, economic hardships, and devastating floods is a previously untold chapter of American history.

    Saw there were no comments, so I wanted to be the first. Thank you for all of the good work your team is doing. Whether it's this community or Appalachia, these small towns and their histories are the roots of our cultural DNA. The value of your documentaries is priceless. Thank you again for preserving these stories.

    Seems to me the proper wording would be, the oldest town in Amerikkka chartered by EMANCIPATED FREEDMEN.! 💥 Make that correction wont you. CUT THE CHECK 💥
