This week on the Down East Journal, we explore the history of Hammocks Beach in Swansboro, a popular recreation area for African Americans before desegregation. The State Park announced this week its acquiring 300 acres to help make it a year round attraction. Plus, the Wings Over Wayne Airshow takes place in Goldsboro next month. The Down East Journal airs Fridays at noon on all of the PRE stations. And Saturdays at noon on News and Ideas.
