The mission of the Chowan Discovery Group<\/a>\u00a0 is to research, document, preserve and present the 400+ year-old history of the landowning tri-racial people of color of the Winton Triangle, an area centered in Hertford County, North Carolina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2007, the Chowan Discovery Group (http:\/\/www.chowandiscovery.org\/<\/a>)\u00a0 co-produced in 2009 its first major presentation, a stage production, scripted by Jones, called The Winton Triangle.\u00a0 The book, Carolina Genesis: Beyond the Color Line<\/a><\/em>, features Jones\u2019 summary of the Triangle\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

In addition to writing articles, Jones has made numerous presentations about the Winton Triangle\u2019s history on national and regional radio, at colleges and universities, museums and to civic groups. The North Carolina Office of Archives and History accepted four of his nominations for highway historical markers.<\/p>\n

A native of Cofield<\/a>, a village in the Winton Triangle, Marvin Jones began this project a decade ago by scanning the photograph collection of relatives and neighbors.\u00a0 The Winton Triangle digital collection now has over 7,000 files of photographs, documents, maps, audio and video recordings.<\/p>\n

Jones is the owner of Marvin T. Jones & Associates, a professional photography company in Washington, DC.\u00a0 He has\u00a0 published in well-known magazines and has worked in South America, the Caribbean and Africa.\u00a0 Howard University and Roanoke-Chowan Community College hosted Jones\u2019 exhibit on Somalia.<\/p>\n
