Saturday, June 29 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the
High Point Public Library, 901 N. Main St.
In this program, Kimberly Mozingo will discuss the origin of her surname in Virginia's Northern Neck. Her family, she learned, began with a 17th-century African Virginian of Creole origin. Since then, like many other “white” Americans, descendants have lost all sense of their mixed racial legacy.
