The "Living Legacies" presentation scheduled for Feb. 26 at Wayne Community College has been rescheduled for next Thursday.

Wayne Community College's Cultural Diversity/Global Education Task Force and the Wayne County Historical Association are partnering to provide a discussion with Wayne County residents who were on the front lines in the civil rights movement: Carolyn Buffalo, Pat Burden, the Rev. James Grimes Sr. and Anne Hurrey. It will be moderated by Gene Price who, as editor of the Goldsboro News-Argus, had a front-row seat for that chapter of history.

The discussion will begin at 7 p.m. in Room 101 of the Walnut Building at Wayne Community College. It will be followed by a reception to honor the panelists and allow conversations to continue on a more personal level.

The event is free and open to the public. No reservation or registration is required.
