Today, November 27, 2010, is the 175th anniversary of the birth of Hugh Cale. Mr. Cale was a Pasquotank County, North Carolina legislator who introduced the bill that led to the founding of what is now Elizabeth City State University.
In addition to serving as a member of the North Carolina General Assembly in the late-1800, Mr. Cale rendered service to the Pasquotank County Board of Commissioners and the Elizabeth City Board of Education. He also served as the Treasurer of Elizabeth City and numerous other positions.
Happy Birthday, Hugh Cale.

I think there is an exciting African American intellectual history in Elizabeth City between 1865-1920ish that is little known but should be a national treasure. Cale is one of many figures who make it so.
