It has been three years since our last update, and a lot has happened during that time. We have continued to research and collect stories from the African American community in Edenton, both from current and former residents. We will be adding new content to our website, starting with the filmmaker featured below.

William Wonders III, a young filmmaker with roots in Edenton, has produced a multi-award winning documentary called “Fixing Grandma." It takes an in-depth look at healthcare in the African American community through the journey of his grandmother, Rev. Barbara Williams, who was born in Edenton, and her innovative neurosurgeon, Anders J. Cohen. It shows how his approach to patient care has transformed the lives of people suffering from debilitating back pain for years. You can watch it on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.

After watching the film, feel free to share your own experiences or stories about patient care and/or how you would like it to improve.
