A History of the Davie County Chapter of
the NAACP
The following is a compilation of newspaper articles pertaining to the Davie County chapter of
the NAACP. When the chapter was formed in 1953 there were two newspapers in Davie County, the
Mocksville, N. C. Enterprise and the Davie Record. The two newspapers merged in mid-November, 1957
and became the Davie County Enterprise Record. All issues of the three newspapers have been digitized
through 2013. The 2014 issues of the Davie County Enterprise Record are available on microfilm.
Issues of the three newspapers were searched electronically from 1953 through 2013 using
various search terms. Both the Mocksville, N. C. Enterprise and the Davie Record were searched for
articles from 1953 until the 1957 merger. The Davie County Enterprise Record was then searched from
the merger through 2013. The 2014 issues of the Davie County Enterprise Record were searched via
microfilm.
No articles pertaining to the Davie County chapter of the NAACP were found in the Mocksville,
N. C. Enterprise, the Davie Record, or the Davie County Enterprise Record from 1956 - 1962. Numerous
searches were made using various terms in the newspapers for those years.
