Episode Synopsis "Hearing Stories Versus Knowing Stories"

Beverly Johnson's family bought land by the river in Trenton, NC early in the 20th century. Land ownership options then were limited for African Americans families. Inheriting land in a flood zone was not Johnson's choice, but she does see many white families in Trenton these days choosing to buy waterfront property. Flood Zone is a special investigation reporting on flooding in Coastal Carolina communities. The podcast is a project of Shoresides and Working Narratives.Support the Show.
