She will share how fashion innovator Claire McCardell popularized comfort and practicality in women’s wear with zippers\, pockets\, ballet flats\, and more.

She has recently talked about McCardell at New York’s Jewish Museum\, the Maryland Center for History and Culture\, and The New York Historical. Her new book\, Claire McCardell: The Designer Who Set Women Free\, is getting rave reviews from all around: \nClaire McCardell revolutionized the way we dress; everything was intentional\, nothing was frivolous\, and comfort was as vital as glamour. This book captures her remarkable ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit\, and it offers a new\, intimate glimpse into the experiences\, people\, and places that shaped her perspective. \n—Tory Burch \nIn the hands of Dickinson\, this is more than just the biography of a fashion revolutionary: It is a story of the fight for women’s identity and\, incidentally\, the birth of an American industry. \n—The New York Times \nSigning to follow with copies available to purchase from Scuppernong Books. \nFree.

Blackmon DESCRIPTION:Join us for a film screening of the PBS documentary\, The Harvest: Integrating Mississippi’s Schools\, and a conversation with the film’s director\, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Douglas Avery Blackmon. \nBlackmon will discuss his experiences as part of Leland\, Mississippi’s first integrated public school class in 1970. The film is a deeply personal depiction of one Southern town’s painful struggle to integrate its public schools and the continuing repercussions still felt today. \nThe Harvest follows a coalition of Black and white citizens who worked to create racially integrated public schools in the most unlikely place: a 1960s cotton town in the middle of the Mississippi Delta\, the most rigidly segregated area in America. It tells the story of how that first class became possible\, then traces the lives of Blackmon and his classmates\, teachers and parents through high school graduation in 1982. \nNarrated by Blackmon and featuring candid interviews with his fellow pupils and others\, the film follows the experiences of Blackmon’s class through school integration\, deep friendships and awkward separations\, in classrooms and on playgrounds\, in plays and athletics\, at homecoming and graduation. The film reveals that while many interracial friendships were formed in school\, racial divisions often still existed outside the classroom. \n\nThis program is in partnership with NC Humanities and the UNC Greensboro Department of History. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://greensborohistory.org/event/film-screening-the-harvest-with-historian-douglas-a-blackmon/ LOCATION:Greensboro History Museum\, 130 Summit Ave.\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27401\, United States CATEGORIES:At the Museum,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://greensborohistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Untitled-design-97.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260207T163000 DTSTAMP:20260406T190544 CREATED:20251201T215933Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T194721Z UID:4948-1770462000-1770481800@greensborohistory.org SUMMARY:Lunar New Year Community Celebration DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Year of the Horse with East and Southeast Asian community groups from Greensboro and beyond. \nDemonstrations\, performances\, hands-on activities\, and more from community organizations. \nPlus Bao Yeah! and Sister Liu’s Kitchen Food Trucks \n\n \nHands-on activities and information tables in the GHM lobby all afternoon.\nPerformance schedule:\n11:15 am in Mary Norris Preyer Hall inside the museum\nDance and musical performances organized by Greensboro Chinese Association \n1 pm in Mary Norris Preyer Hall inside the museum\nDance performances organized by Korean-American Association of Greater Greensboro \n2 pm in the Lobby inside the museum\nYo-yo acrobatics and musical and dance performances\, including dragon & lion dances organized by Formosa Association of Student Cultural Ambassadors Raleigh \nPerformance schedule and locations are subject to adjustments due to weather and other factors. \nFree parking for Greensboro History Museum weekend events is available across from the museum and at the Church Street Parking Deck\, a 5-minute walk.\n  \n\nThank you to our Community Partners:\n\nGreensboro Chinese Association\nFormosa Association of Student Cultural Ambassadors Raleigh\nKorean Association of Greater Greensboro\nNC Asian Americans Together \nAggies for Asia\nGreensboro Public Library\nGreensboro Downtown Parks Inc. \nAnd more!\n\n\nWhat is Lunar New Year anyway?\nHere’s what our friends at the Smithsonian have to say: \n“Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. It is the most important holiday in China\, and it is also widely celebrated in South Korea\, Vietnam\, and countries with a significant overseas Chinese population. While the official dates encompassing the holiday vary by culture\, many who celebrate the holiday consider it the time of the year to reunite with loved ones. In the Chinese zodiac\, 2026 is the Year of the Horse. The celebrations begin with New Year’s Eve on February 17 and last for 15 days\, concluding with the Lantern Festival on March 3.
