Every era of progress leaves behind a story.

The New South was built on promises of growth, opportunity, and a changing future. But behind the railroads, factories, and expanding cities were the workers, communities, and voices who were often left out of that vision.

Understanding the New South means looking at both the progress and the people who made it possible. These conversations help us preserve the past while shaping a more inclusive future.

Board Member Takeover 🚨

Cleveland-raised, Charlotte-based, David Jacobs, MD has been impacting the South for over 30 years. His commitment to equity and community well-being in both his medical practice and leadership make him an invaluable member of our board.

Grateful for his contributions to our ongoing effort to shape the future of Charlotte.

Hot take: No one is self-made!

Behind every big dream is a community of people who helped us get there, and Dr. Key Hallmon’s work is a powerful reminder of just how important that village can be.

We’re excited to bring her teachings to Charlotte through September, featuring local leaders Alvin C. Jacobs, Jr., Scott Tynes-Miller, and Setu Raval as well as two sessions hosted by Dr. Key herself!

Register for September events here: https://www.museumofthenewsouth.org/events/.

Charlotte history deserves to be remembered.

Brooklyn, Charlotte was once a thriving Black community until urban renewal and eminent domain displaced more than 900 families and erased much of the neighborhood in the name of redevelopment. Today, places like Grace AME Church in Brooklyn and the work of Levine Museum of the New South help preserve those stories, reminding us that Charlotte’s Black history is still alive and worth protecting.

Celebrating 35 years with you has felt bittersweet.

It's been incredible to witness, and be part of, the growth of our region. But there's still more work to do.

While Pride Month is celebrated each June, Black Pride has its own rich history. In 2005, organizers Damon Blackman, Monica Simpson, Corey Handy, and Jermaine Nakia Lee established National Black Pride Week in July to increase the visibility of Black LGBTQ+ communities.

This week, Charlotte held events across the region, celebrating the power of intersectionality, community, and the many identities that make our city stronger.

Since 2024, Our New South has grown into a movement that connects the stories of our past with the conversations shaping our community today. Through exhibitions, programs, and partnerships, we're creating spaces where history helps us better understand the present and imagine what's possible for the future.

As we celebrate 35 years and look ahead to a new hub built for and by the people of this region, we're excited for what's next.

The next chapter has just begun, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

2020-2023 asked us to rethink what connection could look like. We navigated the pandemic, moved into a new interim space, launched new digital projects, and began taking our events and dialogues out into the community even more.

The welcoming of Keri Petersen as Senior Director of History and Exhibitions and Rich Cooper as President, partnerships like the Harvey B. Gantt Center and the Trail of History, and the drive to connect our community with history, led to the launch of many new public programs, exhibitions, and digital programs.
