On Thursday night, the mill villages of early-20th-century Charlotte will spring to life with the help of the Charlotte Symphony, which will take part in a multimedia event including a 30-minute symphony performance, live storytelling and historic images. Speaking that night will be Kristina Horton, great-granddaughter of union organizer and N.C. folk heroine Ella May Wiggins, killed during the 1929 Loray Mill Strike in Gastonia.
