Grants
The North Carolina Humanities
Council awarded one discretionary
grant, four planning grants, twelve
mini-grants, and sixteen large
grants to cultural and educational
organizations to conduct humanities
programs in 2012. Funded groups
matched the Humanities Council
grants with in-kind and cash
contributions. (In-kind amounts
as reported or estimated are listed
below each project title throughout
“2012: The Year in Review.”) The
projects supported during this grant
period are integral to the Humanities
Council’s commitment to advocate
lifelong learning and facilitate the
exploration and celebration of the
Main
many voices and stories of North
Carolina’s cultures and heritage.
These programs, as sites where open
discourse resides, contributed to
the cross-fertilization of ideas and
understanding vital to encouraging
our citizens’ sense of self-worth
and practice of public engagement.
A wide range of formats included
conferences and panel discussions
that placed the public in contact
with the most current historical and
literary scholarship; exhibitions,
documentation, and visual and
archival testament to the state’s
diverse cultural heritage; and
performances and film presentations.
In retrospect, the projects provided
opportunities for deep personal
and collective reflection on the
human experience.

The Teachers
Institute
The Teachers Institute sponsored three seminars in 2012 with 74
participants from 25 counties. The
first of these seminars was conducted
in March, led by Dr. Benjamin Filene
(UNC Greensboro, Public History), and
was held at Barton College in Wilson,
NC. Designed in collaboration with
three sites chosen to host Journey
Stories, a traveling exhibition from
the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum
on Main Street, this seminar engaged
teachers from Pender, Robeson, and
Wilson counties who learned how to help
their students become digital curators
of stories and artifacts from their own
families and communities. As a result of
this workshop, teachers were able to work
with their students to conduct oral histories, to collect and photograph illustrative
artifacts for these stories, and to edit and
upload this material on a Smithsonian
Institute dedicated website. Caroline
Courter, a first-grade teacher in Pender
County, engaged not only her students,
but their parents in conducting family
oral histories. Her young students learned
how to compose and ask questions as
well as how to use a flip camera and other
equipment.

The second seminar, the annual weeklong Summer Seminar, was held in
Chapel Hill. Led by scholars Dr. Anne
Baxter (NC State University, English), Dr.
Rachel Willis (UNC Chapel Hill, American
Studies), and Dr. David Zonderman (NC
State University, History), participants
engaged in an in-depth study of railroads, Laying Down Tracks: A Study of
Railroads as Myth, Reality, and Symbol.
Participating educators reported in a sixmonth follow-up assessment the various
ways they have used materials from this
seminar to enhance their curriculum and
meet required objectives. For example,
Guilford County high school history
teacher Sharon Sullivan reported that her
students have “assessed the competing
forces of expansionism, nationalism, and
sectionalism” using many of her summer
seminar materials. She added that the
content knowledge she gained from the
scholars also helped her revise and focus
her lesson planning. Penny Freeland,
a middle school art and drama teacher
from Yadkin County, reported that she
has designed an enrichment social studies
class using materials and information
from the seminar. And Cole Osborne,
an English and humanities instructor at
Guilford Technical Community College,
reported that he used much of the seminar
material to illustrate the theme of equality
in America in his English classes and is
using many of the digital resources from
the UNC libraries presented at the seminar
to bring his Southern Culture class new

materials as well as additional primary
sources. These examples are symbolic
of the responses of many of the seminar
participants who are working with new
ideas and new materials in their teaching
that they would not have had without the
seminar experience.
The third seminar, Journey Stories in
Western North Carolina, was held in
October at Cullowhee in collaboration with Western Carolina University’s
Mountain Heritage Center which was
hosting the Journey Stories exhibition at
the time. Participants worked with Dr.
Scott Philyaw, director of the MHC, to
explore Western North Carolina journey
stories. Paisley Cloyd, a high school art
teacher from the Nash-Rocky Mount
Schools, has begun a Cherokee Journey
Story unit for her students, and is looking
forward to the opportunity to expand
and refine this work. Also attending
this seminar was Dr. Ernest Johnson
from the North Carolina Center for the
Advancement of Teaching. He will lead
these participants in a follow-up seminar
at NCCAT in April 2013. This spring
seminar is designed to assist teachers in
additional research and curriculum design
that they began at the October seminar.
As these educators return to their schools
and classrooms, they bring a refreshed
perspective and level of engagement that
will prove invaluable to their students and
colleagues alike.

North Carolina Stories
In 2012, the Humanities Council launched a new grant opportunity, North Carolina Stories, a grant of up to $2,000 to
produce a digital public humanities project around the theme of “movement.” The Council supported two North Carolina
Stories projects from The Friends of the Jackson County Public Library and Wake Forest University. The first examined
local journey stories of western NC; the second hosted online videos of NC immigrants telling their stories of migration.
The Council is proud to be a part of this new digital method of public humanities engagement, broadening audiences on
an international scale, and expanding the life of these projects.

Road Scholar programs were held in 54 counties in fiscal year 2012, with a total attendance of 7,098 people. Sponsoring
organizations included historical societies, civic groups, community colleges, churches, libraries, retirement centers, museums,
and universities, from the mountains to the coast. Discussions on history, music, literature, and religion led to exchanges of information and ideas, connections with neighbors, and an expanding sense of community. Civil discourse broadens horizons
as program participants from widely diverse cultural backgrounds, academic levels, and beliefs come together to gain knowledge
and new perspectives from scholars and from each other.

Museum on Main Street’s Journey Stories
Museum on Main Street (MoMS) is a partnership between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and the
North Carolina Humanities Council that places exhibitions in rural and small community museums and libraries. By hosting a
Smithsonian Institution exhibition augmented by humanities programs, participating host museums and libraries embrace new
opportunities for professional training in volunteerism, philanthropy, marketing, and collections care and handling. Working
with in-state scholars, the North Carolina Humanities Council also provides resources in the form of programming grants
to help host sites prepare exhibition-related events for and about their communities. Three such grants were issued to the
sponsoring organizations that hosted Journey Stories in 2012. This funding has resulted in Pender County communities pulling
together to investigate and celebrate their immigration and transportation history at the library and throughout Burgaw. The
citizens, public officials, and Rockingham County Historical Society leadership retrofitted a former courthouse, transforming
it into a museum in Wentworth. The communities of Cullowhee and Sylva found ways through the partnership between the
Mountain Heritage Center and the Jackson County Public Library (another former courthouse) to bring a multiplicity of people
and their journey stories to the public ear and eye, mind and heart.

The Harlan Joel Gradin Award for Excellence in the Public
Humanities honors outstanding work that reflects, affirms,
and promotes the mission of the North Carolina Humanities
Council. Humanities Council staff and trustees presented
the 2012 Harlan Joel Gradin Award to the Core Sound
Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center for Workboats of Core
Sound (2007) and Raising the Story of Menhaden Fishing
(2009). Workboats of Core Sound, directed by independent
scholar and photographer Lawrence S. Earley, offered the
fishing communities of Carteret County opportunities to
explore their history and cultures through personal experiences. In 2008, the Humanities Council cosponsored with
the North Caroliniana Society the “Workboats of Core Sound
Symposium and Photography Exhibit” at the Museum. In

uted material from thirty interviews with local residents and
fishermen. Earley and Karen Willis Amspacher, executive
director of the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center, contributed to the publication of Salt in Their Blood:
The Spirit of Community Down East, a Humanities Council Crossroads (2008). An expanded photography exhibit has
been offered at the North Carolina Museum of History, the Burke Arts Council, and Tryon Palace. Earley’s work will be
published in 2013 by the University of North Carolina Press.
A 2009 Humanities Council grant supported planning for “A Collaborative Perspective of the Menhaden Fishing Industry
of Carteret County, North Carolina,” which resulted in the project Raising the Story of Menhaden Fishing, a day-long
symposium also supported by Council funding. A highlight was a presentation and performance by the Menhaden
Chanteymen. This project explored history and culture through community documentation of personal experiences and
discussion of major changes in coastal North Carolina. Both projects provided the foundations for a unique Humanities
Council Teachers Institute Summer Seminar in 2011. Core Sound: A People and a Place of Change and Courage offered
educators a learning laboratory as they met in the museum, studied the community’s collected histories, and talked
with boat builders and fishermen.
Literature and Medicine
The Humanities Council is pleased to announce that the program has expanded to three concurrent medical
facilities: Charles George VA Medical Facility in Asheville, Randolph Hospital in Asheboro, and New Hanover Regional
Medical Center in Wilmington. In 2012, the Humanities Council conducted a training in Guilford County of facilitators
and hospital liaisons participating in the 2013 program. In 2013, the Literature and Medicine program will reach approximately 75 caregivers, from chaplains to nurses and doctors, expanding the program’s reach throughout these facilities,
helping to restore the heart and soul of healthcare, revealing the humanness of the industry at a time when it is
needed most.

Ways to Give
UNRESTRICTED GIVING
–
Unrestricted
gifts support the Humanities Council
wherever the need is greatest. Operational
support is necessary for the day-to-day
activities of the Council.
Financial Overview
D es ign a ted Gifts
RESTRICTED GIVING – Gifts may be
given to any of the Humanities Council’s
programs or special initiatives, such as
Museum on Main Street or Teachers Institute.
These gifts allow donors to support those
programs most closely aligned with their
personal interests.
Public Support
Program Services
A pledge of support over multiple years allows
donors the ability to support the Council at a
higher level of commitment while enjoying a
more flexible payment method.
MATCHING GIFTS – Many businesses and
corporations offering matching gift programs
that often match dollar-for-dollar charitable
contributions given by their employees and, in
some cases, former employees. Please consult
your employer to see if your gift is eligible.
GIFTS OF STOCK – Transferring shares of
stock to the Humanities Council is a convenient
way for donors to support the Council and often
offers tax benefits to the stockholder. Typically,
transferring stock helps the donor avoid capital
gains tax on appreciated shares of stock and
often allows for a larger gift to the Council.
