The University Galleries at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Homage Exhibition

The Homage exhibit is a private collection owned by Charlotte, North Carolina residents Nia and Morris McAdoo, which focuses on African American history and art and showcases more than 650 original artifacts that have been collected over 20 years.  The popular exhibit includes works by artists Romare Bearden and Elizabeth Catlett, alongside original documents and objects from Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Shirley Chisholm, Ralph Bunche and more. Each item in the collection symbolizes a significant moment in history such as legal papers documenting the horrors of the slave trade.“We are excited to host the Homage exhibit and celebrate Black History Month with our community,” said Roy Carter, associate professor and director of the Visual Arts Program. “This celebration of African American culture is an invitation to recognize the enduring spirit of a community, showcasing the depth of their culture and pride.”
