| 2022 | Western North Carolina Historical Association Incorporated Asheville, NC | A | $20,000 | paid | UNLIKE CENTRAL AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA HAS NO LARGE STATE-FUNDED HISTORY MUSEUM THAT INTERPRETS OUR DIVERSE NATURAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY. AS SUCH, THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN GREAT STRIDES TO CONVERT OUR FACILITY - THE SMITH-MCDOWELL HOUSE - INTO A CENTER OF HISTORY EDUCATION. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE DISMANTLED OUR HISTORIC HOUSE EXHIBIT, PAINTED THE ENTIRE FACILITY, AND CREATED A NEW INTERPRETIVE FRAMEWORK. WHEN WE REOPEN IN 2023, THOSE LIVING IN AND VISITING OUR REGION WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANNUALLY EXPLORE NEW HISTORICAL EXHIBITS CURATED BY HISTORIANS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS THAT RELATE TO CONTEMPORARY ISSUES. WE ARE NOW CURATING A NEW EXHIBIT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE RAILROAD INCARCERATED LABORERS (RAIL) MEMORIAL PROJECT, THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE PROJECT, AND SEVERAL OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS (SEE SUPPLEMENTAL ATTACHMENT) WHICH WILL 1) RECOGNIZE THE UNWILLING EFFORTS OF THE | 202322579349300437 |
| 2022 | University of North Carolina at Charlotte Charlotte, NC | A | $20,000 | paid | WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIVIDED. WHILE FICTIONAL, THERE IS AN ALTERNATE, UTOPIAN VERSION OF AMERICA WHERE DIFFERENCES ARE NOT ONLY EXPLORED, BUT CELEBRATED--L. FRANK BAUM PENNED THIS WORLD WHEN HE WROTE THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ. IN COLLABORATION WITH IMAGINON, THE CHILDREN'S THEATRE OF CHARLOTTE, THE CHARLOTTE ART LEAGUE, THE CHARLOTTE FILM SOCIETY, CHARLOTTE LIT, THE INTERNATIONAL WIZARD OF OZ CLUB, THE LAND OF OZ THEME PARK, AND UNC CHARLOTTE, CHARLOZ INTENDS TO EXPLORE NOT ONLY HOW BAUM'S FAIRY TALE CELEBRATED NON-TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES, DIVERSE CHARACTERS, AND VALUABLE LESSONS, BUT ALSO EXPLORE HOW OZ HAS CHANGED TO CONTINUE TO REFLECT AMERICA, HER VALUES AND HER DIVERSITY. BAUM'S OZ SERIES WAS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY HIS SUFFRAGIST MOTHER-IN-LAW, MATILDA GAGE, AND HIS USE OF GENDER WAS NOT ONLY REVOLUTIONARY FOR HIS TIME, BUT CONTINUES TO FEEL QUITE MODERN TODAY (JEOPARDY CHAMPION AMY SCHNEIDER RECENTLY SHARED OZMA'S CONNECTIONS TO THE TRANS COMMUNITY). | 202322579349300437 |
| 2022 | Iredell County Public Library Statesville, NC | A | $20,000 | paid | THE LIBRARY HAS RECENTLY PARTNERED WITH LOCAL CITIZENS, THE CITY OF STATESVILLE, THE NAACP, AND HISTORIC STATESVILLE TO INITIATE A RESEARCH PROJECT FOR THE OLDEST AFRICAN AMERICAN CEMETERY IN THE TOWN IN ORDER TO DESIGNATE THE LOCATION AS A HISTORIC SITE. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT THE CEMETERY IS THE LARGEST IN THE COUNTY FOR FORMERLY ENSLAVED PEOPLES, WHICH HOLDS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE TO THE LOCAL AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THE CEMETERY HAS FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR OVER THE YEARS AND MANY STONES ARE MISSING, SO THE EXACT NUMBER OF BURIALS IS UNKNOWN. THE LIBRARY WOULD USE FUNDS TO HIRE A WELL-REPUTED COMPANY TO CONDUCT A GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY TO VERIFY THE NUMBER OF BURIALS AT THE SITE. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE GPR SURVEY WILL ALLOW THE SITE TO QUALIFY AS HISTORIC AND THUS PRESERVE THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN STATESVILLE. THE LIBRARY WILL HOST SEVERAL EVENTS DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2023, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TH | 202322579349300437 |
| 2022 | Isla - Immersion for Spanish Language Acquisition Durham, NC | A | $18,909 | paid | ISLA LOS SBADOS IS A FREE, WEEKLY EDUCATIONAL HERITAGE LANGUAGE IMMERSION PROGRAM FOR LATINX STUDENTS THAT AIMS TO SUPPORT SPANISH LITERACY SKILLS, CULTURAL PRIDE, AND BILINGUALISM. WE ELEVATE DIVERSE RACIAL, ETHNIC, AND LINGUISTIC BACKGROUNDS BY CREATING MULTILINGUAL, CULTURALLY-AFFIRMING SPACES THAT ARE OFTEN NOT AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS. WHEREAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS MAY OFTEN UNDERVALUE THE MEANINGFUL STORIES AND KNOWLEDGE THAT THESE CHILDREN BRING TO CLASSROOMS, ISLA UPLIFTS THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND CULTURAL VALUE THAT OUR COMMUNITY POSSESSES. FOR MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY, ISLA LOS SBADOS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THEY CAN USE THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE, LEARN ABOUT THEIR DIVERSE LATIN AMERICAN CULTURE, AND EXPLORE THEIR CULTURAL IDENTITY. OUR RESPONSE TO THIS IS A STUDENT-CENTERED AND STUDENT-LED APPROACH TO TEACHING THAT USES INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION TO RESPECT EACH LEARNER AND THEIR INTERESTS. WE GET TO KNOW THEIR ASPIRATIONS, OFFER SUPPORT, AND ENSURE THAT THEIR FEEDBACK IS REFLECTED IN | 202322579349300437 |
| 2022 | Boston-Thurmond Community Network Winstonsalem, NC | A | $16,815 | paid | THIS PROJECT UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE AND RICHNESS OF THE BOSTON-THURMOND COMMUNITY FOR RESIDENTS, SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS, AND THE GREATER TRIAD OF NORTH CAROLINA. IN THE EARLY 1900S, BOSTON-THURMOND WAS A THRIVING, SELF-SUFFICIENT COMMUNITY BUT LIKE MANY OTHER HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS, IT WAS DISRUPTED BY NUMEROUS "PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS". WE BELIEVE THE THEMES OF INEQUALITY, SYSTEMIC RACISM, COMMUNITY ACTIVISM, CIVIC NEGLECT, AND URBAN DESIGN WILL CONNECT TO LARGER NARRATIVES UNDER DISCUSSION IN AND AROUND THE STATE AND AMERICAN SOUTH. RESIDENT EFFORTS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR HISTORY FOUND CRITICAL GAPS IN COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXISTING PUBLIC RESOURCES/ARCHIVES, ESPECIALLY IN COMPARISON TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY ALSO RAISED THE URGENT NEED TO CAPTURE VOICES OF OLDER RESIDENTS, WITH UNANSWERED QUESTIONS LIKE "WHERE DID THE NAME BOSTON-THURMOND COME FROM". THIS PROPOSED WORK LEVERAGES OUR STRONG TEAM AND BUILDS UPON OUR PRIOR WORK TO UNCOVER STORIES THAT HUM | 202322579349300437 |

| 2022 | Chowan Discovery Group Washington, DC | A | $11,246 | paid | MIXED RACE IDENTITY IS VERY OLD IN NORTH CAROLINA, YET OVERLOOKED. A PORTABLE EXHIBIT OF THE WINTON TRIANGLE'S PEOPLE AND THEIR BUILDINGS WILL HIGHLIGHT THEIR LONGEVITY IN THE AREA, CHALLENGES AND SUCCESSES. AS A MULTI-GENERATION MIXED-RACE LANDOWNING COMMUNITY, THE WINTON TRIANGLE PEOPLE'S STORY CAN BE TOLD THROUGH THEIR SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, HOMES, SHOPS, FUNERAL HOMES, HEALTH CLINICS AND A FAIRGROUND. THE TWENTY-FIVE 24X30 INCH PANELS WILL JOIN PHOTOGRAPHS OF HISTORIC PEOPLE WITH THEIR BUILDINGS AND SITES ALONG WITH TEXT. EACH BUILDING PHOTOGRAPH WILL BE AT LEAST 15" X 24" IN SIZE.

| 2022 | The American Friends of Lafayette Gaithersburg, MD | A | $11,000 | paid | THE FIRST PHASE OF THE BICENTENNIAL COMMEMORATION OF LAFAYETTE'S 1824-1825 FAREWELL TOUR IS THE CREATION AND PRODUCTION OF A MOBILE AND WEB-BASED TRAVEL TOUR OR TRAVELOGUE COVERING ALL THE PLACES THAT LAFAYETTE VISITED IN NORTH CAROLINA DURING HIS 13-MONTH VICTORY TOUR ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE SECOND PHASE WILL CONSIST OF EVENTS, WITH LAFAYETTE INTERPRETERS AND GUEST SPEAKERS, HELD ON THE 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF LAFAYETTE'S 1824-1825 VISITS TO EACH LOCALITY. JUST AS LAFAYETTE'S VISIT IN 1824-1825 WAS AN IMPORTANT PRELUDE TO AMERICA'S JUBILEE YEAR, 1826 - AS LUCY PENHALLOW OF PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE WROTE ON SEPTEMBER 2, 1824, THE CHANCE TO FINALLY EXPRESS DEEP GRATITUDE PERSONALLY TO THE HERO OF THE REVOLUTION "MADE ME FEEL TEN TIMES MORE OF AN AMERICAN THAN I DID BEFORE" - SO WILL THE BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS IN 2024-2025 SERVE AS THE OVERTURE TO OUR COUNTRY'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2026.

| 2022 | East Carolina University Greenville, NC | A | $5,574 | paid | WHEREAS STUDENT VETERANS TEND TO OUTPERFORM TRADITIONAL STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THEIR ACADEMIC CAREERS, THAT FIRST SEMESTER CAN SIGNIFICANTLY NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEIR OVERALL GPAS, SENSE OF BELONGING, AND CONTRIBUTE TO FEELINGS OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. THEY ARE NON-TRADITIONAL, HAVE FAMILIES, OR ARE STILL ACTIVE RESERVES, WHICH CAN LEAVE THEM LITTLE TIME TO EXPLORE STUDENT RESOURCES ON CAMPUS OR JOIN STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND FURTHER AMPLIFIES THEIR FEELINGS OF ISOLATION AND SENSE OF ISOLATION IN THE CLASSROOM. STUDENT VETERANS MIGHT FEEL OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE POPULATION, THAT THEY DON'T BELONG IN A UNIVERSITY, AND BE UNACCUSTOMED TO BEING IN CONTROL OF THEIR OWN SCHEDULES, HAVING LEFT A CULTURE IN WHICH EVERY MINUTE IS PLANNED AND EVERY ACTION SUPPORTS A FAMILIAL TEAM. TO BETTER SUPPORT THESE STUDENTS, IN 2017 WE DEVELOPED THE VETERAN TO SCHOLAR BOOT CAMP, WHICH BUILDS COMMUNITY AND UNDERSTANDING BY CULTIVATING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WAR EXPERIENCES THROU | 202322579349300437 |
