Levine Museum of the New South - exhibit on African American life

The Levine Museum of the New South documents post-Civil War Southern history with a long-running permanent exhibit, 'Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers,' that interprets the region's economic and social changes, including the experiences of African Americans in Charlotte. The museum has hosted exhibitions and public programs specifically addressing segregation, civil rights activism, and the urban renewal projects that displaced Black neighborhoods. Its downtown location has been a focal point for public education about Charlotte's racial history.
