Pembroke man's photos capture Lumbee history

Elmer Hunt started taking photos in 1939, when he was 20 years old. He continued the hobby through his life and teaching career at UNC-Pembroke. Today, more than 20 years after his death, the university houses his enormous collection of 53,000 pictures - a photographic history of the Lumbee people in Robeson County.
