Civic Season is a time between Juneteenth and July 4th that unites our oldest federal holiday with our newest, mobilizing a movement to understand our past and shape our future. The museum will have costumed interpreters throughout the galleries as well as children’s activities for younger visitors. Lifted Voices is a free, family friendly series of living history events that bring to life people and stories from Greensboro’s (and North Carolina’s) past. Walking through the museum, guests can explore the galleries and the NC Democracy: Eleven Elections exhibition to meet living history actors portraying people such as freeman and 1868 Convention delegate Wilson Carey, civil rights activist Pauli Murray, historian and anti-suffragist Mary Hilliard Hinton, and Judge Elreta Alexander-Ralston.
Pre-K to 3rd graders and their families can also have fun learning about judge and writer Albion Tourgée with a free newspaper activity at Little Lions Saturday starting at 12 pm.
Free, family-friendly program. Join us for history in first person.
