2025 Wicker Endowment Lecture with Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson
2025-08-25 18:00 - 19:30 | Greensboro History Museum, 130 Summit Ave., Greensboro, NC, 27401, United States
Discover the riveting hidden history of Claire McCardell, the most influential fashion designer you’ve never heard of.
Join us for an evening with award-winning writer Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson. She will share how fashion innovator Claire McCardell popularized comfort and practicality in women’s wear with zippers, pockets, ballet flats, and more. McCardell’s work reinvented American sportswear and set women free from the severe, hyper-feminized silhouette championed by male designers after World War II.
Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson’s work has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Harper’s, The Washington Post Magazine, and many other publications. 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:
Claire 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.
—Tory Burch
In 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.
—The New York Times
Signing to follow with copies available to purchase from Scuppernong Books.
Free. This program has reached capacity, and we are no longer taking reservations.

Film screening: "The Harvest" with historian Douglas A. Blackmon
2026-01-29 18:30 - 21:00 | Greensboro History Museum, 130 Summit Ave., Greensboro, NC, 27401, United States
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.
Blackmon 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.
The 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.
Narrated 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.

This program is in partnership with NC Humanities and the UNC Greensboro Department of History.

What is Lunar New Year anyway?
Here’s what our friends at the Smithsonian have to say:
“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. Different regions across Asia celebrate Lunar New year in many ways and may follow a different zodiac. ” Find out more…
