This edition of the NC Culture Dot Com Podcast starts with a chat with North Carolina photographer Chris Simms, who is featured in the “Telling Our Stories Photography Exhibit.” The exhibit is on tour around the state through late 2009.
Next, Dr. Jeffrey Crow, deputy secretary of the Department of Cultural Resources for Archives and History is also one of the co-authors of the book “A History of African Americans in North Carolina.” With the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday coming up soon, we spoke with Dr. Crow about North Carolina’s pivotal role in the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century.
The podcast closes with an instrumental version of the spiritual “Wade in the Water,” performed here by the Asheville based group Keowee Chamber Music. The group is listed on the North Carolina Arts Council Touring Artists Directory.
