As with any new year, I can’t help but reflect on all that has been accomplished throughout the past 12 months. Tremendous progress was made to safeguard Union Station’s beautiful terra cotta exterior, while delicate restoration work commenced inside to preserve the Suzanne and Walter Scott Great Hall’s signature terrazzo floor. The historic National Command 1202 train car was restored to its former glory as the result of the museum’s first-ever, crowd-sourced funding campaign, and the new Durham Family Foyer is poised to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors throughout 2020 and beyond. In our galleries, we explored the rich history that helped shape and inspire our nation. From American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith (March 2 – June 23), to Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family (June 8 – September 1), to RACE: Are We So Different? (September 28 – January 12, 2020) to Louder Than Words: Rock, Power & Politics (October 2 – February 2, 2020), we uncovered powerful stories, engaged in stimulating discussions, reflected on the strengths and weaknesses of the world around us and managed to throw in some fun for good measure. Our work and exhibition offerings in 2020 will pick up right where we left off. We begin the year with the Newseum’s Pulitzer Prize Photographs (February 22 – May 3). This powerful collection of images brilliantly captures pivotal moments in our nation’s history. From the raising of the United States flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, to the joyous reunion of a Vietnam POW with his family, these historic moments have been forever etched in our collective memory with a perfectly timed click of a button. Quite honestly, this is not just an exhibit to be seen, it’s an exhibit to be experienced. Following that, GUITAR: The Instrument That Rocked The World (May 30 – September 6), and The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited (October 3 – January 10, 2021) take the experience one step further and give the phrase “hands on” an entirely new meaning. From the worlds’ largest playable guitar (43 feet long to be exact) to the inner workings of our beloved Sesame Street characters each exhibit caters to the creative side in all of us. As always, our members, supporters and friends continue to be at the heart of our work. Thank you for all you’ve done for the museum in 2019, and thank you for supporting The Durham Museum in the year ahead. We look forward to seeing you! With sincere appreciation, Christi Janssen Executive Director DurhamMuseum.org 3 David C.

Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal captured the moment when six U.S. Marines raised the American flag over Mt. Suribachi; his image was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. For 70 years the identities of these servicemen were well-known, or so we thought. Join amateur military historian Eric Krelle and former Omaha World- Herald reporter Matthew Hansen as they discuss their research into the true identities of the flag raisers and how it changed history. The talk will be followed by a screening of The Joe Rosenthal/ Unknown Flag Raiser of Iwo Jima from the Smithsonian The Associated Press, 1945 Channel. This documentary reveals evidence that Pulitzer Prize led to the identification of one Marine that was not previously identified and includes interviews with Krelle and Hansen. *Three easy ways to register for lectures: • ONLINE at DurhamMuseum.org • PHONE at 402-444-5071 • EMAIL [email protected] Space is limited and registration is required.

This work was done throughout the 1880s-1920s with the largest of the projects being the grading of Dodge Street in 1920. In some locations, buildings were brought down to a new level 18 feet lower than the original foundation. Tempers ran high between neighbors angry with the constant noise, businesses and homes being uprooted and some downtown residents even suing the city for damages and lack of sleep.

Cemy** Mark Evans" Department of Politics Department of Politics University of Leeds University of York Leeds LS2 9JT, UK York YOlO SDD, U.K Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] • Will also be published in Econonry andSocitD' - We would like to thank the Nuffield Foundation, the Center for European Studies, Harvard University,and the Max-Planck-Institut fur Gesellschaftsforshung, Cologne, for their support during the writing of this paper. Abstract The concept of the Competition State differs from the "Post-Fordist State" of Regulation Theory, which asserts that the contemporary restructuring of the state is aimed at maintaining its generic function of stabilizing the national polity and promoting the domestic economy in the public interest In contrast, the Competition State focuses on disempowering the state from within with regard to a range of key tasks, roles, and activities, in the face of processes of globalization . The state does not merely adapt to exogenous structural constraints; in addition, domestic political actors take a proactive and preemptive lead in this process through both policy entrepreneurship and the rearticulation of domestic political and social coalitions, on both right and left, as alternatives are incrementally eroded. State intervention itself is aimed at not only adjusting to but also sustaining, promoting, and expanding an open global economy in order to capture its perceived

SUE from Chicago’s Field Museum was more than 40 feet long and 13 feet tall at the hip. What made this T.rex even more special was the fact that it was nearly 90 percent complete, giving scientists a rare opportunity to more deeply study the biomechanics, movement and intellect of the “king of the tyrant lizards.” But wait…there’s a new man (or perhaps woman since we can’t really tell) on campus and in the words of University of Alberta paleontologist Scott Persons, it’s the “rex of all rexes.” Its name is Scotty and at an estimated 20,000 pounds, I guess you could say that it’s got some girth.

The beauty and power of native language, legends, songs, folklore, and history motivates artists, authors, playwrights, and designers to incorporate aspects of native heritage into different pop culture medi- ums. Corporations also seek to incorporate indigenous imagery into their products, services, or marketing because they recognize the com- mercial value of doing so. Indigenous groups often resist these culture 3 leaks and seek to control exclusively aspects of their cultural heritage that others believe are in the public domain, free for all to use.

We committed ourselves to the old adage that “no stone would go unturned” in our efforts to effectively preserve one of the country’s finest examples of art deco architecture. If you’ve been to the museum recently, you may have noticed that we’ve gone beyond turning stones to removing a good portion of them. Rows of terra cotta bricks are being removed in order to replace corroded steel shelf angles with their stainless steel counterparts.
