R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company

R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company marks its 150th anniversary this year. Known for brands like Camel, its lesser-known history involves 1940s labor strikes led by Black women workers. A new jazz opera, "Love Songs from the Liberation Wars," highlights this story, with a special performance Saturday at the North Carolina Museum of Art — Winston-Salem.

Among the speakers at the unveiling was Noah Reynolds. He serves on the Forsyth County Historic Resources Commission and is a direct descendant of the company founder.

North Carolina has added 15 sites to the National Register of Historic Places. Several former R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company warehouses are on the list.
