Civic Series

Community Outreach: G. W. Carver High School

The Kannapolis African-American Museum and Cultural Center (KAA-MaCC), Inc. launched its first Civic Series in support of community outreach efforts to enhance and encourage public learning programs about African-American history in Cabarrus and Rowan County, NC. Also, the Civic Series helps to raise the public's consciousness by sharing special exhibitions that celebrate contributions, achievements, and experiences of African-Americans locally and afar.

The first program in the KAA-MaCC Civic Series was an exhibition and forum. Produced by Lance Wheeler, a graduate of UNC-Greensboro. As a student at UNCG, Mr. Wheeler presented "Remembering George Washington Carver High School." The purpose of the exhibition was to show the significance of preserving local history and to provide greater public understanding and appreciation of the world of African-Americans in Cabarrus and Rowan County, NC. The exhibition explores history, lessons, and shared stories that impacted George Washington Carver High School (G. W. Carver)

The venue for the exhibition and forum was the Kannapolis Intermediate School Gymnasium (now G. W. Carver Elementary School), located at 525 East "C" Street, on Saturday, April 29, 2017, at 4:00 p.m. A reception followed the event.
