Warren County,
North Carolina claims 428.70 square miles
along NC's northeastern border with Virginia.
Warren County has a predominately minority
population of 19,605, according to the
US Census Bureau’s 2006 estimate.
Warren County, NC was to be home to
Soul City, North Carolina, a planned new
town community first proposed in 1969 by
Floyd McKissick, a civil rights leader and
director of the Congress of Racial Equality. A
$14 million grant was received in 1972 to
establish jobs providing industry to the
project, but by 1979 foreclosure brought this
dream to an end and the rapid increase to NC's
fortunes has only trickled to this county. So
what is it about Warren County that explains the
extraordinary number of amazing people raised
here?
