“The Mystery Behind the His-Tory & My-Story..”
📘 NEW EPISODE: “The Elementary School” —
🔥 PART 3.75 IS LIVE.
For over 100 years, the story of Kingville’s original elementary school has been scattered, mislabeled, or forgotten.
Today, we honor our ancestors by finally putting the truth back in order.

From Dr. Ogden Doremus King → to Freeman’s Chapel → to the 1921 Board Minutes → to the Trades Shop → to the Teacherage…
This episode connects the entire foundation that led to Kingville High School.

This is our legacy, and we’re documenting it with receipts, maps, deeds, and oral history — not rumor.

The most important chapter so far — the truth about Kingville’s pre-Rosenwald elementary school, how Freeman’s Chapel/Big Zion shaped early Black education, and why design, materials, & workmanship STILL matter when we talk about integrity and preservation.

This episode lays the foundation for Part 4: Kingville High School & the Community, coming next.

🎥 Watch Part 3.75 on YouTube:

Thank you to every elder, family, historian, and neighbor who keeps Kingville’s legacy alive.

✨ The Mystery Behind the His-Tory & My-Story of Kingville: Season 11, Episode 3 – “The Foundation” 👑

Before there was a Kingville School, there was Freeman’s Chapel.
Before there was a Stanly County Training School, there was Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
And before there was a Kingville Community, there was family — mine. 💙

In 1901, Dr. Ogden Doremus King Sr., Arch Freeman, and Charley Freeman (my great-grandfather) helped build Freeman’s Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church — now Union Chapel A.M.E. Zion — where the very first Kingville school began in the church basement.
By 1904, Thos. H. Brooks served as trustee for the Albemarle Normal and Industrial School for Blacks at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, turning faith into formal education.

Those same family lines — Ulysses Brooks, Charley Freeman, and Arch Freeman — joined forces with the Fab Five: Thos. H. Brooks, Joe Wall Jr., Richard Wall, Sandy Tyson, and Sandy Burns.
Together they purchased land and built by hand what became the Kingville Elementary School, a pre-Rosenwald campus that still stands at Lundix and Colson Streets.
Their faith, land, and labor formed the backbone of the Stanly County Training School / Kingville Rosenwald Campus.

Then in 1936, William Henry Wall carried the mission forward, selling four acres for $1,350 to the Stanly County School Board for the new Kingville High School on Wall Street — ushering in a new era of education and community pride.

⸻

🏛 Preserving the Proof

The Industrial Building and Teacherage that still stand today aren’t ruins — they’re receipts.
They embody the same craftsmanship and purpose born in Freeman’s Chapel’s basement and Mt. Zion’s classrooms.
From Charley & Arch Freeman to Thos. H. Brooks, the Fab Five, and William Henry Wall, every generation added a brick.

Now it’s our turn — to conserve, restore, and honor what remains.
These last two buildings aren’t the end of a story — they’re the evidence that the story still lives.

So when you see me working with Stanly Community College, Stanly County Schools, and The Kingville Project, understand —
it’s deeper than programming.
It’s purpose. Legacy. Preservation. Celebration.
