Over our 95 years, we have worked together to safeguard children, strengthen health care, bolster education and fortify spiritual life. Our communities face daunting hurdles, and gaining ground toward change can prove difficult. Joining with strong partners — grantees, foundations, public systems, experts in the field — provides the best chance for impact. Today, amid the crisis created by COVID-19, this is even more true. The pandemic compounded persistent challenges — and even as it eases, its heavy toll will long affect our grantees, the essential services they provide, and the communities and families they are trying so hard to help. The Endowment is committed to working framing our philanthropic with our partners to support the Carolinas and the people approach who live here.

We weigh the true costs and relative benefi ts of potential investments, and make funding decisions based on anticipated outcomes.

  • Interpreting Historic Site Narratives: Duke Homestead on Tour
    INTERPRETING HISTORIC SITE NARRATIVES: DUKE HOMESTEAD ON TOUR Rachel Crockett Kirby A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Program of Folklore in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Bernard L. Herman Marcie Cohen Ferris Gabrielle A. Berlinger © 2016 Rachel Crockett Kirby ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rachel C. Kirby: Interpreting Historic Site Narratives: Duke Homestead on Tour (Under the direction of Bernard L. Herman) This thesis uses Duke Homestead State Historic Site and Tobacco Museum as an ethnographic case study to explore a new vocabulary for understanding the power, politics, and production of historical narratives as communicated on guided walking tours. By examining narratives as they fluctuate along an arc from the scripted, the spoken, and the received, I discuss moments of sense-making, discomfort, and disconnect as they occur on the historic site. I focus on the tours’ inclusion, exclusion, and negotiation of Caroline, a young girl who was owned and enslaved by Washington Duke, through which societal expectations of history can be examined in relation to the desires and goals of those who wrote the tour script. Her story offers an example of narrative discomfort, negotiated through hesitation, elision, and derision within the spoken presentation. Many voices contribute to the construction and perpetuation of historical narratives, and this thesis uses the voices of site employees, interns, volunteers, and visitors to understand the dynamism of place-based history. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As both an undergraduate and graduate student at UNC, I have been supported, guided, and encouraged by countless faculty and graduate students, so I begin my thanks there.
