In 2005, we received one of the highest honors for community service by museums and libraries. Levine Museum was given one of six National Awards for Museum and Library Service for its exhibit COURAGE: The Carolina Story that Changed America. The award was presented at the White House by First Lady Laura Bush.

This was a moment that recognized the power of storytelling.

Sometimes the unexpected stories can make the most impact. In 2005, the museum opened Purses, Platforms & Power: Women Changing Charlotte in the 70s.

This exhibit was not only named one of the two best exhibits in the nation by The American Association of Museums, but also received the highest recognition for achievement in preserving and interpreting state and local history from The American Association for State and Local History.

It’s crucial that we continue to celebrate these stories as they inspire generations today and help to shape a better future.

Hi There! I’m Chief of Education and Strategic Partnerships, Val Brown 👋

My job in one sentence: I help transform our museum into an active learning space where history sparks conversation, curiosity, and community connection.

I couldn’t be more excited about our Catalyst Fellowship Program. I’ve been working with nine bright college students to help them roll out community events throughout the summer. Through this experience, they gain the confidence and understanding that they can make a difference. Each of them is leading with passion behind issues that matter to them.

The work we’re doing at Levine Museum not only connects people to history but also to each other. More vital today than ever before.

In 2005, we welcome new leadership to the stage! Emily Zimmern becomes President & CEO.

Food is rooted in tradition, identity, and history. It not only sustains us but also makes us who we are.

Last week, dozens of members joined our art exhibition featuring high school students’ work from Northwest School of the Arts, Ballantyne Ridge High School, Providence High School, and Charlotte Lab School.

Attendees were encouraged to share stories and memories tied to food. The crowd did not disappoint! Lots of smiles to go around.

In 2004, when Facebook was just beginning to connect college students in new ways, conversations about education were also being shaped in deeper, more historical contexts.

On June 10, 2004, the museum presented Through the Eyes of the Law to mark the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark decision that reshaped public schooling in the US.

The program featured panels led by prominent legal voices, including Julius Chambers, Matthew J. Perry, and Sydnor Thompson.

While Facebook was redefining how students connected, this program reminded audiences of the legal fight that made access to more equal in the first place.

No better feeling than giving back.

Last month, our team had the privilege of volunteering with Roof Above, an organization that serves more than 1,400 people each day. They provide street outreach, basic services, shelter, and housing support.

Organizations like Roof Above make our community stronger, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside them in this important work.
