2023North Carolina Humanities CouncilIN MARCH OF 2024, THE MUSEUM WILL UNVEIL A NEW EXHIBITION TO TELL THE STORY OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO OPERA COMPANY AND IT'S FOUNDER MARY CARDWELL DAWSON. THIS IS THE STORY OF DANCERS, SINGERS, MUSICIANS, SET DESIGNERS, COSTUME DESIGNERS, PAINTERS, AND THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION TEAM. IT IS THE STORY OF SEGREGATION, OF LACK OF FUNDING, BUT ALSO OF PERSEVERANCE AND DRIVE AS A BLACK VIOLIN PLAYER JOINED THE WHITE PITTSBURG ORCHESTRA TO ACCOMPANY A BLACK CAST. IT IS ALSO THE STORY OF HOW A WOMAN FROM THE PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA CARVED OUT A SPACE FOR HERSELF AND A TALENTED GROUP OF PERFORMERS IN A WORLD WHERE SEPARATE WAS ANYTHING BUT EQUAL. THIS EXHIBIT INTENDS TO BREAK DOWN PERCEIVED BARRIERS SURROUNDING OPERA AS A GENRE, TO CREATE DIALOGUE AROUND ISSUES OF SEGREGATION AND ACCESS IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA, AND TO DEMONSTRATE THE CONTINUED IMPACT OF DAWSON AND THE COMPANY ON NOT ONLY THE PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA, BUT ALSO THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.$20,000
