PEA ISLAND PRESERVATION SOCIETY, INC.
Freedmen, Surfmen, Heroes
The Pea Island Preservation Society, Inc. has created a new initiative, “Freedmen, Surfmen, Heroes”, which includes a live presentation that’s done in a fun and exciting way. We share the important and heroic role that surfmen played in the Outer Banks and highlight the unity that occurred between black and white surfmen here decades ago at an unexpected time in American history. This unique story is one that the community, the state and the nation can be proud of. For the past year we have been sharing this story with all 4th graders in Dare County and to locals and visitors at the North Carolina Aquarium. Our goal is to make this unique part of our Outer Banks history broadly known throughout the state and beyond.
