The Capitol at the Museum of History’s African American Cultural Celebration!

Black History Month is a time to honor the achievements of African Americans who have made their mark
throughout U.S. history. In North Carolina, African Americans such as Thomas Day, a master cabinetmaker and
entrepreneur; and Hiram Rhoades Revels, who was born in North Carolina and became the first black member of
the U.S. Congress, have made significant contributions to American arts, politics and finance. Kicking off this
month, the Museum of History held the 17th Annual African American Cultural Celebration. Various museums,
artisans, civic groups, musicians, and authors participated with displays and performances. The Capitol's display
included a Freedom Hands craft. We asked visitors to think about the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in
the United States, and what freedoms others haven’t always been able to enjoy. Then they wrote the freedoms they
are most thankful for on hands they traced and cut out. You can currently see the hands around the railing of the
rotunda. Stop by and read some of our Freedom Hands!

The Mountains are Calling is up around the 2nd oor rotunda.
This exhibit was produced by Vance Birthplace State Historic Site, the North Carolina
State Capitol, and photographer Dr. Brenda Scott. It will be free to view and will be on
display in the Capitol until April 2018.
Telling its story with objects, labels, and striking high resolution photographs, The
Mountains Are Calling utilizes the scenery around the Vance Birthplace State Historic
Site to explore life in the North Carolina mountains from c.1790 to c.1830. The
photographs highlight aspects of daily life - from child rearing to wood working - and
works to contextualize the Vance family and the enslaved people who lived and worked
on the property. Please feel free to ask questions about this exhibit or to incorporate it
into your tours.
The exhibit’s photographs were shot by Dr. Brenda Scott. Dr. Scott is an art photographer
based in Durham, NC. For more information on Dr. Scott, visit her website at
