SUMMARY:She Changed the World: North Carolina Women Breaking Barriers Kick-off Event
DESCRIPTION:The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment allowing women the right to vote. As part of a national campaign to commemorate this date\, North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) is coordinating a campaign titled “She Changed the World: NC Women Breaking Barriers\,” with statewide programming running through November 2020! While some American women were granted the right to vote with the 19th Amendment\, many women had to continue the fight in order to exercise that right. The campaign focuses on the fight for enfranchisement and the story of North Carolina women past and present who have achieved amazing things in multiple disciplines to help make the world a better place. \nThis is a non-partisan kick-off event held at the State Capitol with vendors\, partner organizations\, exhibitors\, food trucks\, performances\, and a voter registration drive. Come\, participate\, and learn about the women of the past and present who can inspire you. This is event is free to attend and open to all.

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: Wilmington on Fire
DESCRIPTION:During both the pre- and post-Civil War eras\, lynching was used with impunity by patrols of KKK members to intimidate\, terrorize\, incarcerate and kill black people. Then as now\, unpunished acts of racial intimidation and violence by citizens and officers sworn to protect and serve the people\, perpetuate racism in today’s criminal justice system. \nPlease join Campaign Nonviolence for a pre-screening rally at 5 p.m. on Bicentennial Mall in downtown Raleigh. Dr. Kimberly Muktarian\, DC lobbyist and President of Save Our Sons of Raleigh\, will lead the rally for racial and criminal justice reform. \nThe screening and dinner will begin at 6 p.m. at First Baptist Church’s Family Life Center. Wilmington on Fire is a documentary released in 2015 that investigates the history of the Wilmington Massacre of 1898. \nA Question & Answer session will be held with Dr. Kimberly following the film and she will share about her involvement in a state-to-state anti-lynching initiative. A love offering will also be collected to help offset the costs of this event. \nFor questions and to RSVP\, please contact Campaign Nonviolence event coordinator Barbara Smalley-McMahan at 919-559/5549 or text the word JUSTICE along with the first names of those attending. \nNo one will be turned away at the door.
