Islands on the Edge – North Carolina’s Maritime Culture in the Time of Pandemic

Join participants from Harkers Island, Ocracoke, and Hatteras as they continue discussions started during the 2004 Smithsonian Folklife Festival’s Water Ways: Mid-Atlantic Maritime Communities program, and learn how these resilient island communities “weather the storms” and aim to come out stronger each time.
