Projects

Our work is organized around projects that inform and transform

2021-2023

With ACLS funding, Dr. Johnson and a team of researchers are creating  a digital history exhibit of African American families from specific communities in Durham that is linked to a mural in the Bragtown community depicting those families. QR codes will link the specific depictions of historic people on the mural to a website with more information.

2021-2023

The NCCU PHP is a member of the Collaboratory along with Adam Rosenblatt and Alicia Jimenez from Duke University and Khadija McNair from Stagville. The group has been awarded a competitive Duke Endowment grant providing upwards of $30,000 to research two historic African American cemeteries in Durham: Geer Cemetery and the Little River Cemetery near Stagville.

2021-2023

A small coalition of publicly engaged intellectuals from NCAAHC, UNCG, and NCCU is working to increase the number of African American public history practitioners in North Carolina by institutionalizing  and operationalizing door-opening professional pathways and partnerships.
