Levine Museum of the New South

This week, we hosted our first Summer Institute, a week of free professional development workshops for educators led by our Educator Advisory Group teachers. Participants had a chance to network with each other, get a head start on their curriculum planning, and learn more about Charlotte's history through our exhibition and guided walking tour of Brooklyn.

Levine Museum of the New South joins the Charlotte community in honoring and remembering NC Rep. Kelly Alexander Jr., who passed away today. We had the honor of Kelly Alexander Jr. serving on our board since 2019. Alexander also shared his wisdom and early childhood stories of Brooklyn with us as a featured storyteller in our past exhibition, Brooklyn: Once a City Within a City, and our app, KnowCLT. We are deeply grateful for Mr. Alexander's passionate advocacy and unwavering support of Levine Museum. His service will always be remembered and cherished.

#OnThisDay in 1937: Leon Levine, our museum's namesake, was born. As a businessman who founded the Family Dollar chain and strongly supported the work of non-profit organizations, his entrepreneurial and philanthropic contributions have made long-standing impacts across the Carolinas. Today, we honor his legacy as Levine Museum of the New South thrives thanks to the dedication of Leon and Sandra Levine.

Happy Pride Month from Levine Museum! ?? We're excited to celebrate love, diversity, and the rich history of the LGBTQIA+ community with you. In our exhibition, Charlotte: Moving Forward, Looking Back, you can see and learn about how LGBTQIA+ activism is shaping a New South!
