The exhibition spotlights Campos-Pons' photography, installation, and performance-based practices, which typically address global histories of enslavement, indentured labor, motherhood, and migration -- how their impacts continue into the present. The exhibition is on view at Duke through June 9. It was curated by Carmen earmo Hermo and Mazie Harris with Jenée-Daria Strand. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by the Getty and the Brooklyn Museum. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $33-42.

Historical maps of Forsyth County displayed in the Wachovia Room at Old Salem's Moravian Research and Archaeology Lab. APRIL LAISSLE/WFDD County border lines in North Carolina are often far from symmetrical. That's especially the case for Forsyth County, which is certainly not a perfect square. That had listener John Strong wondering:  “Why do Forsyth County's southern boundaries look like Swiss cheese?” WFDD's April Laissle spoke to Martha Hartley, the director of research at Old Salem's Moravian Research and Archaeology Lab, to find the answer.  Diagram excerpted from The North Carolina Atlas: Portrait of a Changing Southern State. “Forsyth County's distinctive outline is a product of history and nature," Hartley says. That history is centered around the Moravian Church and its purchase of 100,000 acres of land in 1753 in the backcountry of North Carolina. Hartley says they named their new colony Wachovia after the Wachau Valley they knew in Austria with its similar rolling landscape. The Moravians chose the land due in large part to the richness of water resources. “The Moravians were thinking about the long term, they were thinking about a place that would support their plans for congregations and long-term stability," says Hartley. "And so this water, this amazing Muddy Creek system that is the backbone of Wachovia, is fed by thousands of springs and smaller tributaries. And when you think about where people are going to live in the 18th century, water is life." Wachovia was situated in Rowan County for the first 20 years the Moravians lived there. But by 1771, population growth prompted colony leaders to create Surry County by splitting up Rowan. But, they drew a dividing line right through the center of Wachovia, worrying the Moravians.  “So the Moravians petitioned, and the line was redrawn in 1773, and it was redrawn by the Moravian surveyor. The southern line of Forsyth County is mostly from this particular moment, and it included the southern boundary of Wachovia, the distinct form that we see today.” Both the southern and eastern lines of present-day Forsyth County came mostly from the split that created Surry County. For the next 18 years, Wachovia sat in the southeastern quadrant of Surry County, but by 1789 the population had reached another tipping point. “As the population continued to grow, there was a need for people to be close to their county seat and courthouse, because that's where all the business is done, and it's a powerful place," Hartley says. So, Surry County was cut down the middle, with the eastern half becoming Stokes County. The lower western side of Stokes was generally drawn along the Yadkin River. Rivers made logical borders because they had to be crossed.  The divide that would finally establish Forsyth County as we know it today didn't come for another 60 years.  “In 1849 Stokes County was cut in half. And the lower portion, which contained Wachovia the whole while, was named Forsyth County after Benjamin Forsyth, a local statesman and war hero who was fatally wounded in the War of 1812," says Hartley.   From there, leaders had to decide where to place the county seat in the new Forsyth County.  “At that time, Salem was a center for trade and growing industry and was located in the middle of the new county, the logical place for a county seat," Hartley says. "But Salem was a theocratic community. It was a religious place, and church leaders did not want a courthouse in Salem with its courthouse business and places of execution. So within the Salem town lot, they sold 51 acres in the northern part for the new county seat, which was ultimately named Winston.” The borders of the county have stayed more or less the same since then. The original Wachovia tract still fills the middle of it. And in many ways, Winston-Salem's city limits reflect Wachovia's historic borders.  Story does not include AP content #carolina curious #forsyth county #old salem museum and gardens Human Interest Normal Tweet

“Wachovia,” P.C.G. Reuter, 1766, Collection of Moravian Archives, Herrnhut, Germany. Centuries ago, thousands of Moravian and Quaker settlers came to the Piedmont in search of a better life, and their legacy lives on here in countless ways. WFDD listener James Sims had one specific contribution in mind and asked this question for Carolina Curious. “What are the oldest streets in the three Triad cities that are still in use today?” asks Sims. WFDD reporter David Ford set out for answers beginning in the Wachovia Room at Old Salem's Moravian Research and Archaeology Lab. Martha Hartley directs that research and says the answer is complicated, with many layers of history. Wachovia in the Backcountry. Photo courtesy of Martha Hartley, Old Salem's Moravian Research and Archaeology Lab.   “Now, if we think about the time when the Moravians came to North Carolina to begin their colony — they had purchased the land and they came in the fall of 1753 — and they came from southeastern Pennsylvania where they were settled in Bethlehem and Nazareth,” says Hartley. “And they came along a colonial highway, The Great Philadelphia Wagon Road, and it started in Philadelphia, came through the valley of Virginia, and into North Carolina, and crossed the Yadkin River in what we know as the Shallowford today. But when the Moravians came this was not a road, it was more a path known as Morgan Bryan's Road.” Hartley says through diaries, we know the trip wasn't easy for the early Moravians. For starters, they were forced to narrow their enormous Pennsylvania wagon in order to accommodate the small pathway. “They had to cut trees and make way for themselves because it was a path, but it did become a colonial highway,” she says. “And if you're in Virginia — if you're in the Roanoke Valley for instance — there are highway markers about this road, but it's called the Carolina Road because it was on the way to Carolina. But we typically call it The Great Wagon Road or the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road. So, this road is what I know of as the earliest road that Europeans were using here in what we know of as Winston-Salem, Forsyth County.” And the first major roadway here is still going strong. “Parts of this road are certainly currently in use, and if you're in northern Forsyth County right as you come down Highway 8 and it breaks off into Stanleyville Drive, there's a huge road cut that you can see that's enormous, and that is the vestige of the Wagon Road,” says Hartley. “And so, Stanleyville Drive parallels the old roadbed, and it comes through sort of urban Winston-Salem. But we know this road very well in the Lewisville area because from Lewisville out towards the river is the Shallowford Road.” Hartley says The Great Philadelphia Wagon Road — the path pioneered by Quaker Morgan Bryan in the 1740s — was a crucial part of North Carolina's backcountry settlement in the colonial period. It's the granddaddy of Winston-Salem area streets, but there are plenty of other centuries-old roadways still with us today, many of which developed along the ridges of waterways like Muddy Creek and its tributaries where springs provided a ready source of clean water: Indiana, Akron and Old Walkertown Roads; parts of Reynolda in the north, Miller Street in the south, and Polo Road in the west.

Greensboro History Museum Curator of Community History Glenn Perkins says it's hard to say exactly — commuters there are still probably unwittingly following trading paths of the Indigenous Keyauwee and Saura peoples from centuries ago — but he says one of the most important colonial roads still in existence today is New Garden. “It ties so much to Guilford County history,” says Perkins. “So, right now you know one stretch of this road is a multi-lane expressway almost between Guilford College and the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. But that was an old route by which the Quaker settlers who founded the New Garden Meeting in the 1750s traveled and connected to what would become in the 1770s the administrative center of the new Guilford County.” Perkins says the New Garden Quaker Community thrived and the roadway that made it possible eventually supported other Quaker settlements, providing a means for travel and commerce. Even the city's namesake, Quaker General and Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Greene, was likely familiar with New Garden Road. “Because there was a skirmish before the battle of Guilford Courthouse called the Battle of New Garden that occurred in 1781,” he says. “So, you have both the British and the colonial troops traveling along that road and making their way up to what would become the big battle at Guilford Courthouse. Then about ten years later, George Washington came to visit the area, and he would have traveled up that route as well because he stayed at a tavern that was near what is today Guilford College and would have wound his way up New Garden Road to see the courthouse site.” The road's impact was felt strongly in the 19th century as well, providing the pathway to Guilford College founded in 1837, and before that, leading enslaved people from bondage. “In the early 1800s, it becomes known for its connection too to the Underground Railroad of course because the New Garden community was so critical in helping freedom-seeking enslaved people to find their way north to freedom,” says Perkins. “So, this highway where you might even see a coffle of enslaved people walking along is also going to become a point from which people can depart and go off onto the Underground Railroad trails and find their way to Indiana or another free state.” The Haley House which is located on the Museum's campus and is the oldest house in Guilford County still on its original foundation was located on the Petersburg-Salisbury Road and appears on an 1808 map of North Carolina. Public domain. Image provided courtesy of High Point Museum.   So, Greensboro's New Garden, a road for travel, commerce, education, battles for independence, and freedom. And in High Point? According to Marian Inabinett, the Curator of Collections at the High Point Museum, one of the most important historic roads still in use is what is now Greensboro Road and Lexington Avenue. She says today the road comes from Greensboro, connects with Gate City Boulevard, continues straight to northern High Point, and arrives there as Lexington Avenue. But it dates to the mid-1700s. “And it was the Petersburg-Salisbury Stage Road,” says Inabinett. “Jamestown's main street was also part of that road, but it was one of the most important north-south routes through North Carolina, and it started in Petersburg, Virginia, on the James River and came down and obviously met up with Salisbury in North Carolina going through what was in Martinsville, the county seat of Guilford County, and catching New Garden and going down through Lexington. Well, High Point wasn't here then as a city. So, it connected all those places and once it got to Salisbury, other roads led out to the western part of North Carolina to Charlotte and down into upstate South Carolina.” Inabinett says the Petersburg-Salisbury brought settlers here from the coast of Virginia, circumventing the dangerous fall lines and cliffs near Raleigh. And unlike most of the Triad's oldest streets, Petersburg-Salisbury has a clear marker dating back to the road's early beginnings. “For us here in High Point and the High Point Museum, the 1786 Haley House is actually sitting on that road,” she says. “And it's still sitting on that road. The Haley House is the oldest house in Guilford County still on its own foundations, and it appears on early maps. In fact, the first official state map in 1808 of North Carolina shows the Haley House sitting on that road. And Mr. Haley was a sheriff, a landowner, a blacksmith, so it was to his advantage to be sitting on the main road that's going through — one of the main roads — going through North Carolina.” Curious to learn more? The public is free to view the Haley House in person on Saturdays on the High Point Museum campus and learn about the New Garden community — including its connections to the Underground Railroad and the life of one of its most famous residents, Dolley Madison — at the Greensboro History Museum. And beginning in August, The Old Salem Visitors Center will reopen with the new exhibit “On the Road Again,” exploring travel and transportation in 18th and 19th century Salem.  Story does not include AP content #old salem #greensboro history museum #high point museum #quakers #moravians #settlers #new garden #shallowford road #petersburg-salisbury stage road Transportation Normal Tweet

In episode four of Hauntings in the Piedmont, we head to historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Old Salem has largely gone unchanged since it was settled in the 1700's. To this day, people who live there need to use specific nails to rebuild damaged fences, and people continue to travel there to take a trip back in time. In a community where people are required to pay so much attention to detail, there are precise records, some of which prove there are real people behind some of the stirring stories still told there. We begin with the story of The Little Red Man but come to find his death isn't the town's only loss interlaced in legend.

As we approach All Hallow's Eve, we have a scary-good chat with Anthony Soltys from Old Salem about good ole' RC mayhem and we snap back to the GTA to chat with Johnny from notoriousj_rc about grass roots of RC, what we need more of in this community and how we get there. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ohcanadarc/message

Susan M. Cameron served as president and CEO, as well as executive and non-executive chair of the board of directors, of Reynolds American Inc. between 2004-2011 and 2013-2017. When RAI acquired Lorillard, Inc. for about $29 billion in 2015, it was reported to be the largest acquisition undertaken by a female CEO. In the period during which Cameron held leadership roles at RAI, the company’s total return to shareholders increased 1,335 percent, and the company’s stock price rose 627 percent. Cameron also serves as a non-executive director on the board of Tupperware Brands Corporation. Susan received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Florida and a master’s degree in business administration from Bellarmine University. A brand marketer at heart, Cameron started her career in the tobacco industry in 1981 when she joined Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. Susan worked in a number of countries around the globe before returning to the U.S. in 1999 and being named CEO of Brown & Williamson in 2001. When Brown & Williamson’s U.S. business was merged with RAI’s R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in 2004, Susan was named CEO of the new parent company, Reynolds American Inc. Since then; RAI has grown from a market capitalization of about $6 billion to its current valuation of more than $60 billion. Susan’s management philosophy is simple: in the consumer-goods industry, any company’s greatest assets are its brands and its people. Investing in both is the best way to ensure success. An avid advocate for women’s leadership, Susan frequently speaks to university and professional groups on leadership development. During her tenure as RAI’s CEO, she was recognized multiple times by publications including Forbes magazine, FORTUNE magazine and the Financial Times as one of the most powerful women in business. In 2016, FORTUNE magazine named Cameron as one of its top 50 businesspeople of the year, based both on RAI’s performance under her leadership as well as her record of taking “bold, visionary steps.” Susan is very active in community development activities and has served on the boards of two United Way organizations, the YWCA, Wake Forest University, Salem College, Experiment in Self Reliance, the Winston-Salem Alliance, and Old Salem.

Nancy Taylor Bubes on the building trust in relationships as a real estate agent ~ "Well, it's a relationship business. . . When you really take the time to find the right house for the right family, they're grateful. They love it, and you've got to be able to say, "I'm not sure that's the right house for you." You've got to be able to step in and ... turn it down." Nancy Taylor Bubes - Super-Agent - Washington Fine Properties and Andy Ockershausen in studio interview Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen, and this is Our Town. Our third year, our third series of shows. We have done over 100. We have had so much response, and we've had the pleasure of having GEICO helping us underwrite this plan, and they've been just great. Now that we have great ideas, we are having royalty in our studio. I consider it royalty. This is royalty for Our Town. Nancy Taylor Bubes, the most important high-end real estate person and salesperson in Our Town, and as I say, Our Town covers a lot of area. We're so happy to have Nancy, and to have her background be a part of Our Town, and as someone has quoted in Washingtonian, "She has a Rolodex rivaling that of any bigwig lobbyist in town." She's a big wig lobbyist. Nancy, welcome to Our Town. Nancy Taylor Bubes: Oh my gosh. I wish I had brought my tiara today. Andy Ockershausen: You don't need one. Nancy Taylor Bubes: I'm really impressed. I'm really impressed with that introduction. I'd like to meet that person. Okay. Andy Ockershausen: Well, and it's a cliché a little bit, but we have to say it because Washingtonian feels that way, and I know Cathy Williams feels that way, but there's so much more to you than just real estate, and that's what I was so interested in, to find out your background. I always thought you were from Our Town, but you're not. You were born in Fredericksburg. Out of Virginia Nancy Taylor Bubes: Yes. Yes, Virginia, which is very different than Washington. We grew up thinking that Washington was another country, a place that you just didn't go to. An hour away, but you didn't go there. Andy Ockershausen: No. Nancy, one of the things I've found out in all these years I've been in broadcasting and being a native, a third generation, that Washingtonians don't mind crossing the river to go to Virginia, but Virginians do not like to cross the river. Nancy Taylor Bubes: No. No, and I still have a lot of family in Virginia, and they just see me up here like, "You're up there with all the crooks. I mean, how do you live up there?" It's a very different perception. Andy Ockershausen: It just works so well for Virginians, because they're very happy. They consider that river as a barrier, and I guess it worked for them. Nancy Taylor Bubes: They do. They do. Their memory runs long. Andy Ockershausen: Being a Washingtonian, I consider you a Washingtonian now, even though you're from Fredericksburg, you've seen this city explode. It must have been a great thing for you to look back in your perspective. You went to college in North Carolina, at Salem. I didn't know that was a part of Wake Forest. College Nancy Taylor Bubes: It's not. Actually, it's the girls' school over in the little Moravian Village called Old Salem. It's a girls' school. Andy Ockershausen: It's not connected to the university? Nancy Taylor Bubes: No. Andy Ockershausen: Two separate schools? Nancy Taylor Bubes: Two separate schools. You just went over there for some entertainment. Andy Ockershausen: Well, what in the world brought you to Our Town? Why would you leave a wonderful place like Fredericksburg to come to Washington? Our Town - Land of Opportunity for an Art Major Nancy Taylor Bubes: Well, because I kept thinking, I was an art major, so that's a very marketable thing to be in, don't you think, art? Andy Ockershausen: Absolutely. Government Freeze on Museums and Galleries Nancy Taylor Bubes: I was thinking, "Okay, what am I going to do in Fredericksburg?

It may not come as a surprise that some historians and museum professionals are not always quick to adapt to change, but that’s only some of us. There are others out there, like today’s guest Frank Vagnone, who not only are capable of adapting, but thrive on inverting the status quo of museums and public history. Frank and I spoke about the book he co-authored, The Anarchist’s Guide to Historic House Museums, his position as the President and CEO of Old Salem, and examples of good ways for house museums to defy expectations. There's anarchy in the USA, the U.K., and beyond on this week's PreserveCast.

We are joined on this episode by Assistant Producer Steven Pappas and he shares his experiences as well as the history and supernatural experiences at Old Salem in North Carolina. When most people think of cities in North Carolina, they think of Charlotte or Raleigh. These are the state's two sprawling metropolises and home to many large industries. What most people don't think about is a city mid-way between the two and that is Winston-Salem. Winston-Salem is a town that is not only the home to the headquarters of some large companies such as Texas Pete and RJ Reynolds, but also has a rich history which began as a religious settlement in Old Salem that is still standing 250 years after being established. The town of Old Salem is considered to be an archaeological site. This is a place where people put down roots, and it seems some spirits may have as well. Come with us as we explore the history and the hauntings of Old Salem, North Carolina.

Tough Talk with Tony Gambone with his guest Larry Stockstill & Sandra Lee Hartsell: Larry Stockstill - As a missionary in Africa for two years and a senior pastor for twenty-eight years, Larry Stockstill's ministry has been global and local. His ministry now involves winning men to Christ (Model Man), planting local churches (Surge) and strengthening character in leaders (Remnant). With six children all in ministry, he and his wife Melanie minister together worldwide strengthening the marriages and families of today's Christian leaders. Sandra Lee Hartsell - I love to write prose. My first book has been called, "A Crime of Passion" and others have called it, "Illustrations of Inspiration". I love word illustrations. People that have read my writing relate their lives to it. I have wrote down everyday experiences. The title is called, "A Call to the Christians." I have 3 more prose books out. One is titled, "A Call to the Christians 2", "Latch Key Kids", and "Emotional Hearts." The last three books that I have done are children's books. They are "Adam Petty's Heartbeat". This book is based on the Victory Junction Camp in Asheboro, NC. Adam Petty had a passion for children. You can see the passion he had for children, as you read through this book that is about the camp. "Let's Go Feed the Animals" is based on the Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville, NC. Children love the photos that are in the book. "Once A Year" is about a yearly traditional that the Moravian church at Old Salem has continued since 1929.

As Craig prepares the Cobalt Unit to abandon Old Salem, the Roth soldiers get their first look at the "Fear", Mic Deko's plan to save Kouros. One way or another, a lot of people will die tonight.

Mic Deko is filled in on his orders in Old Salem by an old enemy, Colonel Lucas Fouschet. Chariot has a disheartening conversation with Merana. Craig gets the opportunity of a lifetime to interview the one and only Alexander Kouros.

The battle in Old Salem is going poorly, but Lev Bishop proves to be more useful than Craig originally thought.

Divided into six teams, Craig and the Cobalt Unit take on the Roth in the city of Old Salem. Things seem to be going smoothly, but the deeper in they get, the more it appears that they've bitten off more than they can chew.

Merana lets Chariot in on her secrets. Meanwhile, Craig, Grey and Phelps work in teams to move toward the center of Old Salem.

Mic Deko, an interrogator for the Roth uses some unorthodox methods of extracting information from a prisoner. Meanwhile, Craig and the Cobalt Unit strategize on how best to take the Roth-controlled city of Old Salem.

"What Other People Think", a story from the Grimm Brothers, warns about the dangers of paying too much attention to naysayers. It's a yarn that can be found in many variants in many cultures, usully with hilarious results.We perform this tale with the aid of some special guest stars: Wylie, Nash and Trina, all teenage friends of Zephyr's in North Carolina, as we spend a couple of weeks in and around Winston-Salem and Greensboro.Winston-SalemWinston-Salem is the combination of the cities of Winston and Salem, which joined forces in 1913. Salem was settled in 1766 by members of the Moravian sect, who are still active in the community. This part of the double municipality includes Old Salem, a living history center that features many historic buildings that have been preserved/ restored/ whatever they do to them.And (shhh!) it may be a well-kept secret, but if you're an avid cyclist and you do some poking around, you'll find an excellent scenic bike trail around Salem Lake, as we did.Happy Listening.
