Who's Who in Cabarrus-Rowan Magazine

 📣 Introducing the Premiere Edition of Who’s Who in Cabarrus-Rowan Magazine!

We are proud to announce the launch of the inaugural edition of Who’s Who in Cabarrus-Rowan Magazine, a biannual publication from the Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center (KAA-MaCC) that celebrates African-American excellence across Cabarrus and Rowan Counties, North Carolina.


At the center of the May 31, 2025 Women of a New Tribe Exhibition—presented by Dr. Larry B. Johnson, Vice President—was the highly anticipated unveiling of the premiere edition of Who’s Who in Cabarrus-Rowan, published by KAA-MaCC. This powerful print tribute celebrates the enduring legacies of Black trailblazers—past and present—whose achievements have shaped the fabric of our region. The magazine honors educators, entrepreneurs, clergy, civic leaders, and cultural advocates, preserving their stories as vital chapters in North Carolina’s rich historical narrative.


Gracing the cover of this historic issue is Mrs. Ollie Mae Carroll, a beloved educator and community matriarch whose influence has uplifted generations in our region. As a 2025 Women of a New Tribe honoree, Mrs. Carroll embodies grace, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to service. Her story, like so many others featured in the magazine, is a testament to the resilience and brilliance of our community.
