About 150 students and educators from around the state converged on the Hall of Records this week to watch Actor Mike Wiley of North Carolina perfrom “One Noble Journey,” sponsored by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Black History Month. During his one-man performance, Wiley portrayed Henry “Box” Brown and several other significant Americans from early 19th Century America.
