MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD: NORTH CAROLINIANS FIGHTING FOR CIVIL RIGHTS

Developed by the NC State Archive's America 250 celebration, this traveling exhibit tells the stories of seven everyday North Carolinians and extraordinary leaders — Gertrude Weil, Henry Owl, Joe Lewis, Abraham Galloway, Ronald Mace, James Hunter, and Willa Player — who petitioned, protested, and organized to expand democracy. The exhibit explores change, freedom, civic responsibility, and overcoming challenges by telling the story of a few North Carolinians who have raised their voices to call out injustice and fully participate in our democratic society.
