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).
