Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. The Mooresville Library said in a recent Facebook post that everyone is invited to join together for the premiere of, "Black Mooresville: The Untold Story" on February 11, at 2 p.m. at the Charles Mack Citizen Center. This free showing will include guest speakers, memorabilia, and time for fellowship. The 60-minute documentary captures the history of the Black community of Mooresville through interviews with residents who shared their memories of growing up in Mooresville. It was created in honor of the 150th birthday of Mooresville, and is being presented by the Town, the Mooresville Public Library, and the Celebration History Committee. Directed and produced by Iredell County Television's Shawn Eckles with narrators Reverend Curtis Johnson, Reverend Gavin Gabriel and Sharnetta Clark-Gordon. If you can't make it to the event, the film in its entirety, as well as the individual interviews and many of the photographs, will be made available online through the Mooresville Public Library Local History & Archives website at a later date. Hope to see you there! (Mooresville Public Library via Facebook)
