Perspectives: Growing up in Post-Civil Rights Asheboro

January 14, 2017

Both Mark Kemp and Thomas Rush grew up in Asheboro, NC in the 1970's on either side of Salisbury Street: Kemp in mainly White Greystone Terrace and Rush in mainly African-American Eastside.
And both have, in recent years, penned accounts reflecting on their experiences. The two will come together to share “Perspectives: Growing Up In Post-Civil Rights Asheboro, NC”, at 10 AM, Saturday, January 14, 2017, at the Asheboro Public Library. Their talk is free and the public is invited.

"My reality creates my anecdotes and I am simply the tool used to convert them into words on paper. I am the metaphor. I am the pen that my reality uses to write my experiences. I am my Reality's Pen."
