The North Carolina Museum of History tells the stories of all our pasts, with the actual things worn, used, made, written, and created by many people who have called North Carolina home.
Last week, I finally visited the SUBLIME National Museum of African American History & Culture. I can't find the right words to appropriately express the joie, delectation, utmost admiration of the structure (architecturally), and its content. The work of the late Mr. Freelon and Mr. Adjaye is outstanding! I plan to continue visiting there this upcoming Aug 2024 and, intermittently, many more times in the future, God willing.
I have greatly enjoyed this presentation. I know all three of the people responsible for the book & can tell you they are REAL people, trying to highlight REAL history & beauty in Chowan (pronounced CHOH - wahn) County. I wrote a musical called "We're Riding On The Bus" when I was the music teacher at D.F. Walker Elementary School, located a between 1 & 2 miles from Warren Grove Missionary Baptist Church. The place I featured was the church, & Patricia White was our tour guide for the church in the musical. I excerpted a portion of the musical & added the Across The Field book cover to it.

I think she misrepresented Booker T. Washington's legacy as a leader. She said he wasn't really involved in Civil Rights or politics. While Washington has been called an accommodationist because he wasn't primarily interested in integration, in fact he did advocate for political rights of Black Americans behind the scenes, using his status to influence President Roosevelt, secure political appointments for Blacks, starting organizations like the Negro Business League, and by supporting several boycotts protesting segregation.

My thing is, children who are unsupervised during screentime are not looking for these types videos, when so many more entertaining options exist.
Hi, I found your lecture very informative, my father was stationed at A 11:58 rmy Camp Elliott back in 1942 and he sent my mother a picture of himself and fellow soldiers with him and i have tried to locate it without luck, I’m sure there must be some information about it. I have contacted a number of military offices with help. I was thinking if he was at a interment camp. My name Bruce Fritsch Thank you
My Father supervised a group of officers who worked at RJ Reynolds’s Tobacco Co. He,said they were very smart and good learners. When time came to be returned to Germany, many did not want to return. They cited the utter devastation, harsh living conditions, and threat of recrimination from some in the German population. I remember dad telling him “you will never understand how bad it is over there. Upon their departure, a Major Feucht gave dad his drinking cup he had fabricated of aluminum and engraved “Maj. Feucht” as a token of his appreciation for the treatment he had received there in Winston Salem.
This is a very interesting program. Thanks so much for making it available. I have shared it on the OLLI @ Duke member page, so I'm sure you'll be getting more viewers.
Congratulations, Dee! Long time!! Find me on FB and let me know if you'll be calling any UGA games this season so I can come see ya'll. Congrats again - well deserved!

As an aspiring architect born and raised in North Carolina, this is really inspiring to watch. I've always wanted to merge art and STEM in a meaningful way that can influence society and change people's lives, and architecture is a phenomenal way to do that. Mr. Freelon was a spectacular architect and he has had a lasting impact on telling the African American narrative. I would have loved to have met him, but I will continue to study his work and his profound dedication to our culture, and may he rest in power.
I would love to visit your museum,as I am a Chavis,and grew up hearing about him my great grandfather,cousin, brother,are all named John Franklin Milton Chavis,.please share more in this subject.
I competed at the Nebraska State History Day Competition and got first for my Junior Individual Performance! Hope to see the North Carolina students at the National Competition!
Wonderful video! We just took a visit to the museum and was not able to spend as much time as we have liked exploring in depth some of the artifacts. Thanks for showing these artifacts and giving educators the opportunity to show how small objects contributed to the history of NC.
Thank you for your support of the Annual American Indian Heritage Celebration. This event helps to showcase the arts, culture, and talents of American Indian communities in North Carolina. This event also serves to show to so many non-Indians, that Native Americans people are still a major part of the NC arts and culture experience. A major benefit of the Indian Heritage Celebration is that it helps build knowledge and awareness of the positive aspects of American Indians in North Carolina. It brings together a large number of people to enjoy wholesome family centered events, that build collaboration and ties between many diverse communities. For this event, American Indians have greater access to facilities at the NC Museum of History. This helps to build support and participation among American Indians in other museum and cultural events in the state and at other locations. We all work together to make the North Carolina and Raleigh more attractive and inviting, and increase community development and tourism over time.
