| Caption | This is an article from the Roanoke Beacon newspaper in Plymouth, North Carolina. The article describes Lorenza's experiences in the Navy. He was the first black man from Plymouth to volunteer for the Navy. The article makes a point to list all of the campaign bars and battle starts Lorenza earned. In the article, I also learned the home address of his parents (my great-grandparents) in 1943. Their address was 319 Wilson Street. |
