Cauthen, Carmen: - Carmen Wimberley Cauthen learned the value of history and family legacy growing up as a child. A Black native of Raleigh, she has always recognized that only some of the stories have been told. While writing the Journal for the North Carolina House of Representatives, she realized that truth is many-sided and that what is generally shared is only what is comfortable to hear. Her work as a family historian, racial equity advocate and truth teller is helping to raise awareness of the roots of erasure in the Black community's history.
