The descendants of Annie Catherine Pridgen in May 2020 established the ACP Community Development Foundation.
Its purpose is to carry on the legacy of community service left by their parents. Annie Catherine Pridgen and her siblings were actively involved in local affairs in Southeastern NC and their communities. Their father, Obed Pridgen, was a WWI veteran, and their mother, Mattie Gross-Pridgen, had a profound and enduring impact on their community.
In 1951, Obed Pridgen donated a substantial portion of land, which was used to construct a school for colored children located in the western region of Columbus County. This school served as a full K-12 educational center. As the descendants of Obed and Mattie Pridgen, we are dedicated to upholding and expanding their legacy by actively serving the community on behalf of Annie Catherine Pridgen and her siblings
Annie, along with many of her siblings, was part of the great migration northward, seeking to create a better quality of life and opportunities for their children and families. They were brought up to live with integrity, love, and faith.
Annie, as an active member of her community and a dedicated civil servant, raised her children with strong morals and a commendable work ethic. She exemplified resilience and commitment to her community, carrying forward the legacy of love established by her father. Annie and her siblings maintained a robust bond, offering mutual support through the challenges of parenthood. They imparted this legacy of love to their children, who grew into productive and industrious members of society.
Today, ACP has emerged to provide ongoing personal, economic, and community development. ACP's vision is to impact the lives of underserved communities by closing the gap on the lack of resources and expanding services in Southeastern North Carolina. ACP continues this legacy by planting seeds of hope in our communities.
