The Funeral of Henry Pete Harlee (1902 - 1959)

My great-grandfather Henry Pete Harlee worked on the railroad in Robeson County, NC for years, along with some of our other family members and other African-Americans. Through his efforts, my family lived pretty well for a segregated town in North Carolina. His job entailed loading coal on the steam trains for over 14 hours a day.

Unfortunately, Robeson County has no marker ackowledging the service that these African-Americans provided to the Atlantic Coastline Railroad. But this will be addressed thoroughly in an upcoming podcast. Below is a listing of family and friends who attended his funeral.
