The Bowehouse Project, LLC is currently a non-profit 501(c)(3) legacy restoration initiative focused on revitalizing and restoring two properties that served as boarding homes and a sanctuary for African American teachers during the Jim Crow era. The founders have collaborated with the North Carolina Central University Archives Department to document the rich history through firsthand accounts, data, and evidence from letters and other primary sources, highlighting the involvement of nearby North Carolina HBCUs. The research includes Shaw University, Winston-Salem State University, Fayetteville State University, North Carolina A&T University, Saint Augustine's University, North Carolina Central University, and Johnson C. Smith University. These HBCUs played a pivotal role in shaping the community by providing equal educational opportunities, especially to the African American residents of a rural town near Hillsborough, North Carolina, during segregation. The legacy of these educators enabled many impoverished African American students from this town to achieve their dreams of attending and graduating from these HBCUs, setting a precedent for future generations.
