The ways a #museum can inspire are endless: acting as a hub for education, providing services to those in need during crises, combatting social isolation, providing space and resources for healing, and more.

As we mark the one-year anniversary of the pandemic in North Carolina, BPR is launching a new series of oral history features from Appalachia with @Foxfire. We start with middle school teachers Alicia and John Kilby, interviewed by their former student. bpr.org/post/covid-appalachi…?

1/3 On July 9, 1860, the Clotilda arrived in Mobile, #Alabama. On board were 110 enslaved Africans transported directly from West Africa. They were the last enslaved persons imported to the United States, after the transatlantic slave trade was outlawed in 1808.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson—known as the “Father of Black History"—started the first Negro History Week in 1926 to ensure students would learn Black history. It grew into #BlackHistoryMonth, starting in 1976. This Scurlock Studio Records portrait of Woodson is in our @amhistorymuseum.

Chadwick Boseman has died after a 4 year fight with colon cancer.
Even though it doesn’t matter at this moment, Boseman shot many films here in GA that were not only integral to exploring historical Black figures (42, Get On Up) but altering pop culture (Black Panther).
RIP 💔

I've spent some of #Lockdown reading my parent's old Foxfire books. I now know how to build a house & a barn by hand, raise, slaughter & dress livestock, make soap, when to plant a variety of crops and more. If we're to go back to the 17thC this year, I'm ready.

How does one make soap from scratch? Sounds like a useful skill. Or maybe I should go pull out some of my old Foxfire books and look it up myself.
