5 Arts Program Application Narrative
• Organizational Profile — a brief overview your organization's mission and history.
The Hillsborough Arts Council is a 501[c]3 non-profit organization whose primary role is to
organize and promote cultural and educational events featuring local and statewide artists for
the enjoyment and education of the general public. Our mission is, "Enriching our community
through the arts." Programs are funded through partnerships and donations, and by grants from
such entities as the Hillsborough Tourism Board,OCAC,and NC Arts Council.This support allows
us to offer some programs for a small fee,and other events free of charge.
The HAC Board is a diverse group of artists and art lovers,and the membership includes potters,
jewelry makers,poets,sculptors,photographers,mixed media painters, designers and art
enthusiasts from Hillsborough and the surrounding area. Quarterly council meetings are open
to the public.Board members and local volunteers serve on various committees for HAC events
and activities. The HAC has one employee,a part-time bookkeeper.
Free Spirit Freedom is a cultural arts initiative under the Hillsborough Arts Council umbrella.
The program emerged in summer 2010 when co-founders Renee Price and Thomas Watson with
a select group of area residents deliberated and concurred that Orange County needed to
preserve,acknowledge and celebrate its diverse heritage.We recognize the photographer as an
artist capturing moments and moods in time,and community elders as resources for
documenting the sentiments that were manifest during specific chapters of our regional history,
and so,we use photography along with narrative as our media to: link the past to our future,
show our unique identities,and acknowledge a broader spectrum of values.
Our inaugural exhibition took place January to March of 2011, at the HAC gallery,at which we
hosted a well-attended opening and participated in the February Art Walk. Since then,we:
• Exhibited"Rural Schools for Colored Children-Path to Freedom,"and held a Storytelling
Event related to this photography exhibit,January 2015
• Exhibited"The Black Church,Civil rights and Freedom,"and held a Storytelling Event
related to this photography exhibit,January/February 2015
• January 2013 and January 2014, exhibited at the Orange County Annual Human
Relations Day Forum,hosted by the OC Human Relations Commission
• engaged community members in a video,"What Freeodm Means to Me"
• exhibited at the Central Orange High School Alumni reunion
• had two month-long exhibitions at the Central Orange Senior Center
• hosted"An Outdoor Cultural Affair" at Moorefields,featuring storyteller,Joyce Grear
• set up at the 2011 Hillsborough's Last Friday events
Free Spirit Freedom's mission is to use the arts to promote our common history,establish social
bonds, celebrate our cultural traditions and create bridges of cross-cultural understanding
among diverse populations of all generations. We want to relate the struggles and triumphs in
the determined effort to achieve civil and human rights particularly for people of color,yet for all
Americans. Eventually,we intend to build Free Spirit Freedom into a vibrant community
resource,collecting old photographs,historic images, oral histories and narratives, for an on-
going public exhibition and continued interactive programming that will instill a sense of being
and place while promoting diversity and inclusiveness in local affairs.

Proposed Uses of Grant Funds—description including location, date, artists involved.
Free Spirit Freedom is requesting OCAC funds to support the expansion of the "Freedom through
Business and Agriculture" collection of images,along with the installation of a photography
exhibition and the production of a storytelling event.In decades past,people of color owned
acres upon acres of farmland, and they supported their families and contributed to economic
development in Orange County through crop production,growing tobacco and the like.They
also sold value-added items and provided agriculture-related services. Other African American
entrepreneurs,non-farmers, owned and operated businesses that served people and other
enterprises throughout the region. Despite the laws of segregation, individuals advanced and
businesses thrived,and remnants and vestiges of those days still exist...and we want to
document that era through images and narratives.
More specifically,we propose to use the grant funds to:
• 1] contract with Jacquelin Liggins,local photographer,to photograph historic farm and
business structures and sites owned and operated by people of color,thriving in Orange
County at least 50 years ago,and that still may be in operation; contract with Joanie
Alexander to enhance the images [$450];
• 2] contract with Renee Price to design and compose the publicity or promotional
materials as well as the brochures or program materials [$150];
• 3] assist with marketing costs—producing posters,flyers [$50];
• 4] print and mount forty-five [45] new photographs/images and reprint and mount
twenty-five [25] historic photographs on sintra,at A Better Image Printing, [$450];
• 5] purchase canvases and other materials to install a photography exhibition with the
new images and reprinted photographs [$200];
• 6] provide stipends/honoraria to 4 featured Orange County community elders at the
Storytelling,who will recount their experiences,memories and viewpoints [$200].
Activities that will be part of the overall project and supported with applicant cash,including in-
kind contributions,are:
• facility rental;
• some marketing and publicity;
• a catered reception for the exhibition-storytelling event.
DocuSign Envelope ID:6FBOD2B6-B8D3-4136-A376-20FDC2D04FC7
We are proposing a project timeline of 8 months,with a start date of July and culmination of the
project by February 2016—leaving 2 months for unforeseen delays. We have a list of sites and
structures, and will be ready to start taking photographs in July,and will continue through
October.Thomas Watson and Jackie Bradsher Liggins are life-long members of the Orange
County community and will take the lead in identifying places to photograph and people to
interview. Based on past experience,we expect that our list of places and people will grow as
this proposed project progresses,while we are out in the field.In autumn,we will consult with
Peter Sandbeck,Cultural Resources Specialist for Orange County,and other local historians to
document our findings.
Once we finalize the pieces for the exhibition and the narratives,we will prepare for the artists'
opening and storytelling event in February 2016, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. If we are
successful in receiving a grant from the Hillsborough Tourism Board,this program will follow a
January program on minority-owned businesses of Hillsborough, and we may be able to have a
combined exhibition. In March, FSF will recap,analyze and assess our yearlong activities,
compile a photo album for the website,and prepare the final grant report. Our goal is to install
our exhibit in February in commemoration of Black History Month.
Because Free Spirit Freedom is an HAC project,we will publicize our events through the HAC
website, Facebook page and listserv,and the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough website and its
listserv. Laurie Paolicelli of the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau will post on the
Bureau's website, Facebook page and listserv.We will post the event as prescribed by OCAC,
prepare a release for WCHL Radio, and place an announcement in the News of Orange County,
the News and Observer and the Orange County website. Local community organizations,
chambers of commerce and faith assemblies will receive "save the date" cards and invitations.
• information concerning whether you have undertaken similar activities in the past.
Free Spirit Freedom has undertaken similar activities in the past, and with overwhelming
success. In January and February 2015,we had two exhibitions and accompanying storytelling
events—one on the Black Church and the other on Schools for Colored Children.We were
pleased to have audiences that were diverse with respect to age, ethnicity, interest and
residency.Attendees and visitors stated that we should organize and host more events of this
nature.We otherwise have had exhibits and displays using old photographs at various
community events,and our mission and content have been well-received.
• number audience per program; geography of audience; mix of ethnicity, age, and gender.
Our intended audience is a multi-generational and culturally-diverse group,a cross-section of
the Orange County community,inclusive of people from the urban centers,rural townships and
surrounds. Our participants are respected local residents who have"their own following" and
will attract others. Based on attendance at our previous events,we hope to have 200+visitors
and audience participants for the Sunday afternoon exhibition and storytelling event. We plan
to use the Richard E.Whitted Building in Hillsborough. The exhibitions will remain for the
duration of the two months,so that many more visitors will have opportunities to view them.
• Discuss how the arts program will be integrated into the curriculum.

Artist Statement
Jackie is a photographer,writer,potter and painter whose work is exhibited extensively
throughout the United States.
I have been documenting African American Schools that were built and in operation prior to
1950, and are still standing. I began this project in 1998 using a 35 mm Nikon camera, and have
captured revealing shots of several rural schools for African-American children including:
Haith School, Sartin School,Corbett School, Union Grove School. I have always had a
fascination with school architecture.
We still have several buildings in the community that portray this era of our one and two room
schools in the early years,if the school lacked a well,students carried water from neighboring
houses. Schools were heated with potbelly stoves;the boys in the school chopped wood for the
next day. Classroom books were used and handed down from the white schools in the area.
I would like to continue taking photographs in the existing buildings or what remains of them.
The photographs will capture architectural features or details, as well as buildings in their
entirety.
You will also notice the photograph below is a book that I had published of people over 90 that
are still self-sufficient. They all have high morals and definitely believe in treating people with
respect.
My abstract paintings are expressions of freedom and movement. With acrylic paint, on
masonite,wood or industrial material. I create compositions of vivid journeys to other
dimensions. While my hands work freely and naturally,my mind focuses on design,color and
texture. As I create,the abstract becomes limitless and creativity seems endless.

`Colored schools' lessons
resonate today
Free Spirit Freedom moves forward by looking back
03/04/2015 12:52 PM
HILLSBOROUGH
Growing up in northern Orange County, Hattie Vanhook remembers walking
three miles each way, to and from the two-room, all-black school she attended.
She remembers bitter winter walks, her hands freezing on the way to school.
Her teacher kept a pan of water ready to thaw the students' hands - and
Vanhook remembered that thawing feeling in her fingers.
"It just itched and itched and itched," she said.
At the one-room Sartin school, Melvin Beasley recalled older boys gathering
firewood to fuel the school's only heat source: a pot-bellied stove.
"They were hard days, but they were good days," Beasley said.
Vanhook and Beasley shared their memories during "Rural Schools for Colored
Children - Path to Freedom," a photography and storytelling event hosted by
Free Spirit Freedom at the Central Orange Senior Center, Jan. 31-Feb. 1.
Free Spirit Freedom, a Hillsborough Arts Council initiative, combines history and
the arts to celebrate Orange County's diversity and build understanding.
Thomas Watson and Renee Price co-founded Free Spirit Freedom in 2010.
"You have to remember the past to deal with the present and the future,"
Watson said. "The goal is that in open-forum conversations, we can make a
difference."
DocuSign Envelope ID:6FBOD2B6-B8D3-4136-A376-20FDC2D04FC7
Over the two-day event, 200 people crowded the senior center to view
Jacquelin Liggins's black-and-white photos of Orange County's "colored"
schools: Haith, Morris Grove, Ridge Road, Sartin, and White Oak, which were
later consolidated to form Cedar Grove Elementary. The photo exhibit runs
through March 20.
The photos show these schools, once hubs of their community, empty and even
falling apart, grown over with vines.
County notes from 1936, when these schools bustled with children, reveal the
disparity between the black and white schools' facilities.
In 1936, of the 28 Orange County schools for African-Americans, all but one
relied on wood stove heating, natural light and outhouses, said Peter Sandbeck,
Orange County's cultural resources coordinator. Yet all of Orange County's
schools for white students had furnace heat, electric lights and indoor toilets.
`Quest for an education'
The event's storytellers emphasized the African-American community's drive to
seek an education, despite the starkly unequal conditions.
"What I want to leave you with is this quest for an education, that was so
burning in the hearts and minds of black people. ... That burning desire, that zeal
is something we must continue," said Freddie Parker, Jr., N.C. Central
University professor and former student at Central and Orange High Schools.
Parker explained that even the one-room schools represented a long journey
from when North Carolina slaves were forbidden to learn to read in 1830. The
first punishment was 39 lashes across the back. The second time caught, it was
death.
"I tell my students all the time, if they're going to kill you if you're caught
reading, there must be power in this."
DocuSign Envelope ID:6FBOD2B6-B8D3-4136-A376-20FDC2DO4FC7
Beasley described the foundational education he received at Sartin and Ridge
Road Schools. He won the third-grade Spelling Bee (beating out four first
cousins), and can still recite a slew of poems from memory.
Lucille Leonard, who attended the one-room Morris Grove first through fifth
grade, emphasized the school's close-knit feel.
"It was fun in a way, because everyone was in the same classroom."
The speakers explained that the schools did prepare them to lead in their
communities. Beasley was the first and still only African-American to chair
Orange County's Board of Elections. Hattie Vanhook marched for school
integration and led the Orange County 4-H Club for over 40 years.
`I'm better than this'
Questions from the audience launched the storytelling forward to integration in
Orange County. After two years of optional integration, Orange County's dual
school system ended in 1968.
Sheila McDonald, Hattie Vanhook's daughter, attended the formerly all-white
Aycock Elementary School for second and third grade, during the years of
optional integration.
"Every time I left the arms of my parents to go to school (on the bus), I was told,
`back seat,' with another name with it," McDonald said.
"(At school,) you walked into an environment that made you feel you were not
wanted, and you were actually told you were not able to learn," McDonald said.
"Psychologically that was difficult, for a child of seven years old."
Yet, McDonald said, the experience helped prepare her for the challenges
ahead.
"At age seven, age eight, I realized that I'm better than this. ... It was nothing
new for me to be called a name, and know I was not that name."
DocuSign Envelope ID:6FBOD2B6-B8D3-4136-A376-20FDC2D04FC7
Freddie Parker pointed to the new hardships during desegregation at Orange
High: plummeting grades for black students, fights, walk-outs.
"When we were first bringing segregation to an end, I don't think we really
stopped to consider the costs," Parker said. "Now, do I want to go back to
segregation? No."
"But everything I learned, I learned at (the all-black) Central High School. ...
Everybody was involved in your life at those all-black institutions, principals,
custodians, teachers. ... That support didn't always follow you after
desegregation."
Coming together
Eighth-grader Aneesha Abdur-Razzaq said she learned from the event the
challenges that African-American students had faced - both before and after
school desegregation.
"(1 learned) how it was so segregated, still after segregation had ended," Abdur-
Razzaq said. "And how fortunate we are, because they had to walk really far to
their schools."
Free Spirit Freedom hopes to encourage exactly those kinds of realizations,
Renee Price said. While laws may promote equality, change must continue on a
community level, she said.
"You still have to change people's minds and attitudes and hearts - and you
have to do that by coming together," she said. "You do that by sharing stories,
realizing you have the same stories, or were in the same room at the same time
(in history)."
