Moore drives Stoney and his crew around the area around the Loray Mill and discusses things such as the Labor Day parades and the businesses that were previously in the area. Passmore shows the filmmakers and Ernest Moore around the Firestone Mill, which was previously called the Loray Mill at the time of the General Textile Strike of 1934. - Local Identifier:
