Happy Thanksgiving! Did you know that Beaufort has its own connection to pilgrims associated with the original Thanksgiving?
Nathan Fouller/Fuller (1750-1800) is buried in the old burying ground of Beaufort, North Carolina. Nathan is believed to be a direct descendant of one of the original passengers on the famous “Mayflower” voyage in 1620, Edward Fuller
Edward Fuller was a passenger on the historic 1620 voyage. Both Edward and his wife would pass away shortly after establishing Plimoth Plantation, leaving behind a young son.

Thanksgiving Day, as we know it, was not celebrated in North Carolina until 1849. The previous year, Governor William A. Graham called on the legislature to make the day an annual occasion. He said the day should be: "...a season for kind, social sentiment—for the forgiveness of injuries—for acts of good neighborhood and especially for the charitable remembrance of the Poor." The General Assembly ratified a joint resolution recognizing the holiday in January 1849. Governor Charles Manly then proclaimed November 15, 1849, as North Carolina’s first Thanksgiving.

On November 27, 1962, Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered a speech in Rocky Mount. Before a crowd of nearly 2,000 in the gymnasium at Booker T. Washington High School, King used several expressions that made their way into his landmark “I Have a Dream” address at the Lincoln Memorial, which was part of the March on Washington in August 1963.

Near the close he built toward these lines: “I have a dream that one day right here in Rocky Mount, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will meet at the table of brotherhood, knowing that one God brought man to the face of the Earth. I have a dream tonight that one day my little daughter and my two sons will grow up in a world not conscious of the color of their skin, but only conscious of the fact that they are members of the human race. . . .”

Clayborne Carson, editor of the King Papers, notes that while this was not the first use of the “I have a dream” phrase, it “appears to be an important new rhetorical formulation.” By the spring and summer of 1963, the words were among the most frequent of King’s refrains.
