RALEIGH — The state’s highest civilian honor, the North Carolina Award, will be presented to six distinguished North Carolinians Thursday, Nov. 21. Among those honored will be former Salisburians John Hart and Phil Kirk.
“It is an honor to pay tribute to these remarkable individuals who have made North Carolina better by their extraordinary involvement in this state,” says Susan Kluttz, Secretary of the N. C. Department of Cultural Resources and former Salisbury mayor. “Each has enriched the lives of our citizens and propelled North Carolina onto the national and world stages.”
Hart will be honored for literature: John Hart, a former attorney, landed on The New York Times bestseller list with his first published effort, “The King of Lies” (2006). With the release of his second book, “Down River” (2007), and his third, “The Last Child” (2009), Hart continued to appear on bestseller lists and became the only author to ever win consecutive
