The park was named after Dr. Thomas O. Fuller who had spent his life empowering and educating African-Americans during the late 1800's and early 1900's. He was also a minister of a Baptist church, a teacher in a North Carolina public school, a principal at the Shiloh Institute, in 1898 he was the only African-American senator in North Carolina, and he was also an important historical and spiritual writer. Dr. Fuller's activism was not necessarily accepted by all advocates for equality because he was more accommodating in his politics of equality than Dr. King's confrontational tactics. Go to work, be at peace and hold the friendship of your neighbors and your future in politics will take care of itself. While Dr. King may have disagreed with some of Dr. Fuller's non-confrontational tactics, he would have been proud of Dr. Fuller's dedication and impact he had made in teaching black history and black pride.
