Emma Dupree, Pitt County Herbalist
"Emma Dupree, Pitt County Herbalist" by Alex Albright, MFA, English (retired) on February 24, 2020. Alex Albright will provide an overview of the life and work of Emma Dupree, who was the subject of the 1979 ECU film “Little Medicine Thing: Emma Dupree Herbalist”. Born in 1897 along the Tar River, Dupree was known as “that little medicine thing” because of her understanding of herbs at an early age. As an elderly woman, she shared much of her knowledge of the medicinal properties of native plants with physicians and medical anthropologists. Dupree received the Brown-Hudson Award from the North Carolina Folklore Society in 1984 and the North Carolina Heritage Award in 1992. She died just shy of her 100th birthday, in 1996.
