SUMMARY:Fall 2025 HSNC Meeting\, Hillsborough\, NC
DESCRIPTION:Eagle Lodge No. 71\, Hillsboro\, NC\, from Durwood Barbour Collection of North Carolina Postcards (P077)\, North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives\, Wilson Library\, UNC-Chapel Hill\nThe Fall 2025 meeting of the Historical Society of North Carolina will be on Friday afternoon and evening\, 17th October 2025 at the Eagle Masonic Lodge at 142 West King Street\, in Hillsborough. \nThis will be our first meeting in the Orange County Seat in quite some time\, and we look forward to the opportunity of meeting in this historic venue as we begin to observe the 250th anniversary (Semiquincentennial) of the American Revolution and the independence of the nation. \nThe two-story\, square brick Eagle Lodge was erected in 1823 in the Greek Revival Style\, reportedly the design of State Architect William Nichols who is credited with work on the original State House in Raleigh and the present-day Capitol Building. \nIn addition to its continuous Masonic purposes the building has served as the town’s lecture hall\, opera house\, Civil War hospital\, and in many other functions. Its architectural and historical significance made the building suitable for inclusion on the National Register a half-century ago. It is an integral part of the Hillsborough Historic District. \nProgram \n4:00 pm Presentations \n\nDr. Hilary Green\, the James B. Duke Professor of Africana Studies at Davidson College\, “Bridging the 1865 Divide of the ‘With These Hands Memorial’ at Davidson College”\n\nIn May 2025\, Davidson College broke ground on the “With These Hands: A Memorial to the Enslaved and Exploited.”  Designed by artist Hank Willis Thomas and Perkins & Will architectural design firm\, the memorial recognizes the African American men\, women\, and children whose contributions have been ignored previously and how the abolition of slavery in 1865 did not change labor conditions. Dr. Green’s address focuses on two individuals who bridged the 1865 divide. Hiram Potts’ and John Baxter Williamson’s institutional connections began in slavery and ended with their deaths in the early years of Jim Crow segregation. By understanding these men’s lives and early campus remembrances of faithful college servants\, she contends that the memorial serves as an appropriate commemorative form and forces the current campus community to reckon with not only the enslaved and exploited but the individuals who bridged the 1865 divide.\n\n\nRob Christensen\, former journalist with the the Raleigh News and Observer\, discussing his new book\, Southern News\, Southern Politics (UNC Press\, 2025).\n\nChristensen retired in 2018 after writing about North Carolina politics as a reporter and a columnist for nearly five decades. He has appeared on countless television and radio programs where his skills as a political analyst have come into play. He has made many contributions to various books and publications dealing with our state’s political heritage. This first solo work\, The Paradox of Tar Heel Politics (UNC Press) was awarded as the best work of non-fiction by a North Carolinian by the state Literary and Historical Association in 2008. A decade later came his The Rise and Fall of the Branchhead Boys (UNC Press\, 2019) in which he chronicled the rise of the Scott Family Political Dynasty and its impact on the state. His latest work  covers the rise and decline of the Daniels family and the Raleigh News and Observer which they guarded\, groomed and guided for the better part of a century.\n\n\n\n6:00 pm Business Meeting and Dinner \nFollowing these presentations\, we will have a business session in which we will have reports\, elections for officers for the next year (a slate forthcoming)\, and the presentation of the year’s recipients of the Outstanding Teacher of North Carolina History Award\, the Edmonds-Gavins Award (formerly the Connor Award) for the best article in the North Carolina Historical Review\, and the Hugh T. Lefler Undergraduate Award for best research paper. Details will be forthcoming in future communications. \n7:00 pm Presidential Address\, Dr. Cecelia Moore \nCost for the evening meal: $20.  Payment forms accepted are cash or check (made payable to “Historical Society of NC”).  Payment by PayPal also accepted at Fall 2025 Meeting.  RSVP to jasont@unc.edu

SUMMARY:Spring 2024 HSNC Meeting\, Winston-Salem\, NC
DESCRIPTION:Our hearty thanks to the Program Committee for lining up a most excellent meeting on Friday\, 5 April. We will be convening at the MUSE Winston-Salem located at 226 South Liberty Street- just south of US 421 (Salem Parkway\, formerly Business I-40). The facility\, just north of the famed (Frank P. Milburn designed) C.T. Leinbach House\, is strategically located where the towns of Salem and Winston came together in 1913 to form the City of Winston-Salem. Our meeting is scheduled to begin at 3:30. There will be a brief Executive Council meeting at 3 pm. Winston-Salem history is the theme for the meeting. \nMembers arriving early are welcome to gather and “refresh” at the Salt and Sage bistro which is next door to MUSE. \nOur Itinerary\n3:00 PM: Executive Council Meeting \n3:30 PM: Afternoon Program \nCall to Order by Vice President/Acting President Chris Oakley \nSpeaker: Dr. Mike Wakeford\, Executive Director of MUSE\, who will discuss Peter Oliver. \nGeoff Hughes\, “Peter Oliver: Revisiting and Reassessing the Life of a Moravian African American Potter” profiles Oliver thusly: \nBorn into enslavement\, Peter Oliver became a skilled craftsman and purchased his freedom. Much of the work he undertook to achieve emancipation took place in the pottery workshops of Salem and the nearby town of Bethabara\, making him one of the only documented African American potters in the Moravian’s North Carolina communities (collectively known as Wachovia). During his lifetime\, Peter Oliver was accepted into Salem’s Moravian congregation as a communicant member\, a significant achievement integral to securing his freedom. His funeral and the procession that followed were noteworthy in its multiracial character amid an increasingly segregated American South. According to church records\, “a large number of Negroes attended\, and they were given the front benches” in Salem’s church and “the coffin was carried by Negroes” to the congregation graveyard where Peter Oliver was buried next to his white Moravian brethren in Salem His dedication to the skills he learned as a craftsman were also celebrated by the community: Peter Oliver was\, “true to his calling and work and he brought it about through diligence in his work to the point that he could buy himself free from his status of slavery. \nWeather permitting\, this will include a visit to Peter Oliver’s grave in nearby God’s Acre- the graveyard of the Moravian churches of the local Salem Congregation. \nReturning to the MUSEum we will see a series of paintings done by Jerry Hines\, chronicling the Black Experience in Winston-Salem. Inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s Great Migration Series\, Hines painted black workers at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and Hanes Mill\, at various points in Winston-Salem. \n5:30-6:30 PM: Evening Meal \nWe will have our evening meal\, which will be catered by The Porch\, “Home of the best taco bar in town.” The price of the meal will be $25. Members may pay at the meeting\, but reservations need to be sent to Michael Perdue\, Secretary\, (history6557@yahoo.com) no later than Monday\, 1 April. Those preferring to mail their payments may send them to our Treasurer\, Jason Tomberlin\, Wilson Special Collections Library\, UNC\, CB 3948\, Chapel Hill\, NC 27599. \n6:30-7:00 PM: Business Session (CLOSED SESSION FOR MEMBERS ONLY) \nNominations Committee announced\, as well as reports from the Lefler and Edmonds-Gavin awards committees\, and announcement of the Fall 2024 meeting). \n7:00 PM: Evening Program \nSpeaker: Martha Hartley\, Director of Moravian Research at Old Salem Museum & Gardens. Hartley will speak on her experiences working on the preservation of the Wachovia settlement\, the very foundation of the current city of Winston-Salem as well as the Southern Province of the Moravian Church in North America. \n***\nACCOMMODATIONS: A block of rooms for the HSNC has been reserved at the nearby Fairfield Inn at a discounted rate. The room block is in place until 25 March\, but rooms should still be available afterwards. \nCOME MASKED OR UNMASKED AND BRING A FRIEND OR TWO WITH YOU!!!!!

SUMMARY:Fall 2018 HSNC Meeting\, Raleigh\, NC
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Society of North Carolina will meet Friday\, October 12\, 2018 on the campus of Meredith College at Raleigh with faculty member and HSNC member Dan Fountain as our host. \nAs the day of our meeting falls upon the first full day of the State Fair at the nearby fairground attendees are asked to allow additional time for driving and navigating any additional “situations” caused by that annual event. \n \nProgram Itinerary (All events are in Belk Dining Hall)\n2:00-3:00 pm:  Council Meeting (downstairs meeting room) \n3:00-4:00 pm:  Social time (Oak Room downstairs) \n4:00-5:30 pm:  Afternoon program (Oak Room): New Voyages to Carolina \nOur afternoon program will be devoted to the recent compilation of HSNC members Larry Tise and Jeff Crow\, New Voyages to Carolina: Reinterpreting North Carolina History\, (UNC Press\, 2017) which presents a powerful and unique approach for comprehending and sharing North Carolina’s history. This recent publication may very well change how we all have been presenting the history of the Old North State. Drs. Tise and Crow will lead in the afternoon’s program and as they have commented: \nNorth Carolina defies the typical patterns for telling the story of American history. The traditional tendency of batching North Carolina with aggrieved slaveholding states of the Old South and New South centers of commerce does not really work. North Carolina followed its own distinctive route which we have sought to describe in a new chronology that finds continuity between the aspirations of Indian natives and European colonists. \nWe believe that we have outlined a new narrative that describes the campaigns of those who have inhabited these lands to make use of its extraordinary natural resources\, to create a government appropriate to a diverse environment and population\, and to unleash a great variety of voices through music\, art\, and literature. We thus invite Carolinians of all stripes to join with us on these “new voyages to Carolina.” \nHistorical Society of North Carolina contributors to the New Voyages publication: \n\nKarl E. Campbell\, Appalachian State University\nJeffrey J. Crow\, Office of Archives and History (retired)\nJerry Gershenhorn\, North Carolina Central University\nCharles F.

SUMMARY:Fall 2016 Meeting in Greensboro
DESCRIPTION:Aycock Legacy Subject of October HSNC Meeting at UNC Greensboro\nThe Fall 2016 Meeting of the Historical Society of North Carolina will be held on the campus of UNC Greensboro on Friday afternoon and evening\, October 14th. The afternoon program will begin at 3:30 pm and will be devoted to an additional/alternative interpretation of our fiftieth Governor of North Carolina\, Charles Brantley Aycock (1859-1912) who served as Chief Executive from 1901-1905. \nWrestling with Governor Aycock and His Legacies\nLike several other institutions in the state\, UNC Greensboro recently revisited its commemorative landscape.  It decided to rename Aycock Auditorium\, uncomfortable with Governor Aycock’s leadership in the twentieth-century white supremacy movement.  This session uses the Aycock decision as a case study that raises key questions about memory\, history\, and identity.  What is the point and the power of a name carved in stone?  In considering commemorations\, how do historians weigh allegiances to the past\, the present\, and the future? \nIn this session\, North Carolina historians will share insights about Governor Aycock\, the history of African Americans on Greensboro’s campus\, and how other North Carolina schools have handled commemoration controversies on their campuses.  Following the session\, graduate students in UNCG’s public history program will hold an informal poster session to share creative proposals for how to remember Aycock in the building that used to bear his name. \nWe are pleased to have the following speakers for our afternoon program: \n\nJames L. Leloudis\, Professor of History\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: “Aycock’s Impact on North Carolina”\nGerald Prokopowicz\, Professor of History\, East Carolina University: “Remembering Aycock at ECU: Activism\, Reaction\, and the Role of Public History”\nErin Lawrimore\, University Archivist\, University of North Carolina at Greensboro: “Searching for Aycock—and African Americans—on UNCG’s Campus”\n\nMeeting Schedule\nAll Events Held at the UNCG (former Aycock) Auditorium. \n2:00-3:00- Council Meeting (2nd floor lounge area) \n2:45-3:30- Social Time (downstairs cocktail area) \n3:30-4:45- Afternoon Program (Main Auditorium): Panel: “Wrestling with Governor Aycock and His Legacies” \n4:45-5:15- Student poster discussions (Auditorium Lobby) \n5:15-6:00- Business Meeting (Main Auditorium). The memoir for Dr. Ray Gavins will be delivered prior to the business session. \n6:00-7:00- Dinner (backstage) – See dining options below…….. \n7:00-8:00 Evening Program (backstage): Presidential Address: “A Capitol Controversy: The Mysterious Firing of William Drummond; or\, the Untold Story of the Conflict that Changed the North Carolina State Capitol” by Catherine Bishir \nDirections to UNCG Auditorium and Parking\nThe former Aycock Auditorium is located at 408 Tate Street\, which is at the intersection of Spring Garden and Tate Streets in Greensboro\, North Carolina. \nFor your own specific directions please consult the following link: https://www.visitnc.com/listing/aycock-auditorium \nParking: Behind the Weatherspoon Art Museum on Tate Street is a large UNCG parking lot.  Parking is free after 5 pm\, but you must have a permit before that. \nIf you wish to have a parking permit (if coming before 5 pm) please email Michael Perdue at history6557@yahoo.com no later than Friday\, October 7th.
