Congratulations Dr. Jacquelyn Dowd Hall and Dr. Robert Korstad! North Carolina Humanities held its North Carolina Stories Luncheon on May 17, 2024 in Charlotte! Friends and partners from across the state came to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of North Carolina over a shared meal together. Guests were invited to join our North Carolina Reads statewide book club, heard poetry, learned about our partners at Iredell County Public Library, and more. The afternoon’s program culminated with a very special oral history showcase from and conversation with our 2024 John Tyler Caldwell Award for the Humanities winners Dr. Jacquelyn Dowd Hall & Dr. Robert Korstad.
