GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year WFMY News 2 turned 75! So to celebrate, we're opening the WFMY News 2 vault.
December 18, 2005, we got a peek at a vision.
We spoke with Sam Pass who led the Magnolia House Motel renovation.
At its peak, the Magnolia House served as a Green Book hotel.
Those were hotels open to African Americans during segregation.
But it got rundown and taken over by vagrants.
So, Pass bought the property with a vision to bring it back to life and he did!
Earlier this year, WFMY News 2 toured the Magnolia House as it celebrated 75 years!
It operates as a museum, bed and breakfast, restaurant, and event venue!
