| 400 YEARS OF ENGLISH AMERICA \
"Right here at our door we have an opportunity to commemorate an anniversary unique in our history, and one of the most significant
events of all times. The year of 1984 will mark the 400th anniversary of the landing of the English at Roanoke Island. It was the
dauntless spirit of adventure and achievement that prompted them to extend the domain of civilization ? that indefinable spirit that
has inspired man on through the ages ? the story of the pioneer.... This early effort by our forefathers should be observed in a manner
fitting the occasion."
These words, used by the late Lindsay C. Warren, when he
persuaded the North Carolina General Assembly to authorize the
appointment of a commission to plan die quadricentennial cele
bration are as appropriate today as they were twenty-seven years
ago. And echoing Warren's belief that To do anything on a great
or magnificent scale requires time, planning, dreaming, courage,
organization and above all a vision to unfold," Governor James B.
Hunt, Jt, in 1978 appointed ten North Carolinians to join with
four ex officio members as America's Four Hundredth Anniversary
Committee in developing a master plan for the celebration of the
quadricentennial of Sir Walter Raleigh's colonies here on the
Outer Hanks of North Carolina.
Although the celebration will center on Roanoke
Island, the Raleigh colonies, and the Elizabethan
age, the Committee plans a multi-faceted pro
gram which will attempt to reach all the areas -t;
and all the people of North Carolina. The
official period of celebration will begin on C) ,
27 April 1984 with appropriate festivities in Of /
Plymouth, England, to commemorate the ^
sailing of the expedition led by Philip 7^ \
Amadas and Arthur Barlowe. On 13 July g> \
1984 die celebration will begin in North
Carolina on Roanoke Island celebrating the A
landing of the English and their claiming the *(
area in the name of Queen Elizabeth. A series of
activities will continue the quadricentennial obser
vance until it closes on 18 August 1987. the 400
birthday of Virginia Dare, the first child of English parents
born in the New World. Other dates for possible major quad
ricentennial events are 26 July 1985, the arrival of Sir Richard
Grenville and the Ralph Lane colony; 10 June 1986, the arrival
of Sir Francis Drake; 22 July 1987, the arrival of the John White
colony; and 13 August 1987, the baptism of Manteo, the first
Protestant baptism in the New World.
Other proposed activities are as follows:
A series of conferences and symposia on Sir Walter Raleigh, on
John White and Thomas Harriot, and on ideas and other major
figures of the Elizabethan era.
Archaeological research by the Division of Archives and His
tory, the National Park Service and others in an attempt to leam
more about the native Americans of the area.
A series of publications including folders, pamphlets, and
books written for the general public, as well as for scholars.
Included in the list of planned publications is a popular history by
David Stick, a scholarly history by David Beers Quinn, and a
volume on the John White drawings by Paul Hulton.
The construction of the Elizabeth II, an authentic representation
of a sixteenth-century style ship to be built and berthed on the
Manteo waterfront.
An essay contest among the school children of the nation
jointly sponsored with the English-Speaking Union.

'STRIKE AT THE WIND!'
IN FOR A LONG RUN!
Pembroke- Strike at the
Wind!", now in its seventh
season, looks like it might be
in for a long ran, maybe like
the Lost Colony, America's
first outdoor drama.
"Strike at the Wind!" is a
musical, outdoor drama about
the mysterious Lumbee In
dians and features the ex
ploits of Henry Berry Lowrie,
their real life folk hero who
disappeared into folklore in
1872. \
But "Strike at the Wind" is
also about the Blacks and
whites who make up Robeson
County, North Carolina's
unique tri-racial population.
Ironically. "Strike at the
Wind!" had its beginning in
1976 as America celebrated
its iDOth birthday. The Lum
bees, who survived against
imposing odds, are a micro
cosm of the best and worst of
the American experience.
"Strike at the Wind is set in
the turbulent era of the Civil
War. On March 4,1865 Henry
Berry Lowrie, while hiding in
I I
some "galberry" bushes,
witnessed the execution of his
father, Allen, and his oldest
brother, William. They were
killed summarily by the Home
Guard, a loosely organized
arm of the Confederate Array,
forcing them to dig their own
graves. The death of the
Lowries brought a decade of
conflict to Robeson County.
Henry Berry Lowrie vowed
vengeance and organized the
Lowrie Band including broth
ers Steve, Tom and his
irrepressible brother-in-law,
Boss Strong. The Lowrie Band
also included Shoemaker John
a Black Compatriot; and Zack
McLaughlin, a white, truly a
tri-racial band.
Out of the vortex comes
"Strike at the Wind," a
musical outdoor drama by
Randolph Umberger, a Paul
Green Prodigy.
Of course there's Rhoda,
Henry Berry's bride, a perfect
mate for a man on the run.
And lots of music and
delightful characters, indud
ino a cnmnassionate white
sheriff and Squire Hector
McCord, a white man with a
conscience.
The play takes place at the
Lakeside Amphitheatre, ^-ac
tually one of Henry Berry's
real stomping grounds.
"Strike at the Wind" runs
July 3 through August 28,
1982, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday each night at 8:30
p.m. at the Lakeside Amphi
theatre on the grounds of the
Riverside Country Club, 3
miles west of Pembroke off
Highway 74 and the banks of
the Lumber River.

loving "Boss Strong" in the
drama is General Manager.
North Carolina Theatre
Arts and the North Carolina
Department of Cultural Re
sources recognizes "Strike at
the Wind" as a professional
theatre and provides grant
assistance to the theatre from
funds appropriated by the
North Carolina General
Assembly.
