The Lumbees love their beauty queens


Each year in July, more than 30,000 Lumbee return “home” to Pembroke, NC for the weeklong festivities celebrating their cultural heritage. The week, centered around the University of North Carolina���Pembroke, culminates with Saturday’s parade, outdoor market and pow wow.

This year, my daughters and friend, Hope Dougherty and I traveled to Pembroke to experience firsthand the the colorful pride of what it means to be a true “Lum.” We had a blast.
