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… URL:https://greensborohistory.org/event/lunar-new-year-2026/ LOCATION:Greensboro History Museum\, 130 Summit Ave.\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27401\, United States CATEGORIES:At the Museum,Family Fun,Partner Programs,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://greensborohistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/LunarNewYear017edit-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260129T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260129T210000 DTSTAMP:20260406T082723 CREATED:20260109T141147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260120T165117Z UID:5026-1769711400-1769720400@greensborohistory.org SUMMARY:Film screening: "The Harvest" with historian Douglas A. 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;VALUE=DATE:20260119 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260120 DTSTAMP:20260406T082723 CREATED:20260116T230158Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260116T230158Z UID:5052-1768780800-1768867199@greensborohistory.org SUMMARY:Museum Offices Closed- Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day DESCRIPTION: URL:https://greensborohistory.org/event/museum-offices-closed-martin-luther-king-jr-day-2/ LOCATION:NC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260117T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260117T150000 DTSTAMP:20260406T082723 CREATED:20251230T215953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T165244Z UID:5018-1768608000-1768662000@greensborohistory.org SUMMARY:Little Lions Saturday DESCRIPTION:Discover Greensboro’s History through fun activities for Preschool and elementary age children and families!

A discussion with the panelists will follow the films. \nThe subject of Curtis Chin’s film\, Asian American Warren King builds life-size sculptures of impressive realism armed solely with cardboard and glue. Chin is also the author of Everything I Learned\, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant\, offering a poignant and humorous look at growing up in Detroit in the 1980s as a gay Chinese American kid—where the family restaurant served as both sanctuary and battleground. \nZelda Lockhart is a current Fulbright Specialist engaging in cross-cultural story projects for generational healing in the U.S. and abroad. She holds a PhD in Expressive Art Therapies\, an MA in Literature\, and a certificate in writing\, directing and editing from the NY Film Academy. Her work as an author and expressive arts consultant and educator centers on the power of story and nature to connect us across barriers and to heal our generations. \nLaura Carney’s One City\, One Book Greensboro Residency began October 7 and the author will be leading events through October 23\, 2025. Her book\, My Father’s List\, is the story of how one woman—with the help of family\, friends\, and even strangers—found the courage to go after her own dreams after realizing those of her free-spirited father. \nOne City\, One Book is funded by the Greensboro Public Library Foundation. The Foundation provides resources beyond public funds to enhance the facilities\, programming\, technology\, book collections\, and other materials of the Library.
