SUMMARY:Does an amendment give you the right to vote?
DESCRIPTION:You’ve likely heard\, perhaps on the news or in the classroom\, that the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave or granted African American men the right to vote. It’s a turn of phrase that works as a shorthand. Unfortunately\, it’s also a bit misleading.

SUMMARY:Join a Collective Video Response to "A Hard Road to Freedom"
DESCRIPTION:A Hard Road to Freedom: Positively Impacting the Present\nView a video on the Black experience on North Carolina’s Outer Banks during the Civil War and early Reconstruction that includes period photography and drawings. Viewers ages 18-30 participate by answering lending input related to the video that will be turned into a video response to A Hard Road to Freedom and viewable on the museum’s website.\nA Hard Road to Freedom informs viewers of the struggle of enslaved and formerly enslaved people that flocked to Hatteras Island and Roanoke Island\, NC during the war to seek freedom\, refuge\, and work. Viewers can gain an understanding of a transitional and complex time in history where society was battling views of enslavement and freedom. The video brings to the fore the challenges faced by African Americans in the 1860s. It highlights the successes and failures of the Freedman’s Colony on Roanoke Island -where the Union Army was encamped and where more than 2\,000 African Americans flocked between 1862-1867. The video also invites dialogue on how the past helps us understand the present and inform the future.\nWith the latter in mind\, the 2022 Civic Season program includes a questionnaire created to illicit response and provoke thought on how\, with knowledge\, people can gain understanding and bring people closer to one another in an inclusive and humanitarian sense. The goal is to provoke self-reflection\, inspire action\, and examine the role history education can play by following this little-known chapter of history to modern day. In the end\, the goal is to make a lasting personal and emotional impact that motivates positive action.\nQuestionnaire\nThis questionnaire will be posted on our website and open to viewers between the ages of 18-30. The criteria for choosing questionnaire answers to include in the subsequent video will be those that share positive ideas and reflective thought to make a difference in life.\nParticipants also will provide an image of themselves or one that they identify with in a positive way to be included with their answers that will be combined to create a collective video response to A Hard Road to Freedom. The response will be called Positively Impacting the Present and posted on the museum website with A Hard Road to Freedom.\n1. How did this video affect you emotionally and intellectually and why?\n2. What image(s) in the video moved you the most and why?\n3. Do you feel the Freedman’s Colony was successful? Explain.\n4. What could have been done to improve conditions in the Colony? How would your idea be implemented?\n5. How can you reach your age demographic with your message?\n6.How can this video influence your future actions?\n7. Share an idea or plan to make a difference through a community program or a personal action based on equality\, inclusion\, and the specific needs of a community.\n8. How does this video affect your views on the presentation of history in education?\n9. Does social inequity affect your life? If so\, how\, and how have you managed?\n10. Has history affected your life and how?\n11. What role does language play in promoting inclusion?\n12. What is the most important thing you learned by watching this video?\n13. How can understanding the past inform the future?

SUMMARY:Online Exhibition "Chez Baldwin: An Exploration of the Life and Works of James Baldwin"
DESCRIPTION:Chez Baldwin is a digital exhibition that explores James Baldwin’s life and works through the lens of his house in St. Paul de Vence\, France\, where he resided the last seventeen years of his life. Photographs of the interior and exterior of the house\, a medieval villa\, grace the pages of the section titled “Power of Place.” For Baldwin\, his home in St. Paul was an enormously powerful place for writing\, healing\, and gathering. \nThe exhibition’s core also includes four additional stories that provide an introduction to Baldwin\, insight into his international travels as well as details about his civil rights activism\, and an overview of his literary career. Images of collection objects acquired from the house are integral to Chez Baldwin. \nAlso featured is a Learning Lab for teachers where a Baldwin literary achievements timeline\, a listing of resources\, links to NMAAHC public programs about Baldwin\, and notes by authors who have recently written about Baldwin’s life in St. Paul can be found.
