Charles B Aycock Birthplace

The Charles B Aycock Birthplace in Fremont, NC, commemorates the life and legacy of Governor Charles B. Aycock, the fiftieth Governor of North Carolina. Known for spearheading the expansion of public education in the state and overseeing the construction of numerous schools during his tenure, Aycock's complex history is also explored at the site. Visitors can delve into Aycock's involvement in less celebrated events such as the Wilmington Massacre and Coup of 1898, the Red Shirt movement, and his "White supremacy" campaign for governor in 1900. The site provides an insightful look into Aycock's support for education, his segregationist views, and his role in disenfranchising Black North Carolinians. Generated from the website content
