  • Dr. Sherilynn Black, middle, a neuroscientist who created and runs the Office of Biomedical Diversity, speaks with program participants Ife Ayeni, left, and Nandan Gokhale, right, on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, Friday, June 24, 2016. Few college students from underrepresented groups seek doctorates, particularly in STEM fields. Duke University’s medical school created the Office For Biomedical Diversity six years ago to see if they could change that equation. Now, not only are more minority students are entering Duke's biomedical PhD programs, but they are performing better once there. <br />

  • Self-taught artist Odinga Tyehimba. His current project, Rebel Shrine, consists of various ritual power-figures which work in unison to form a visual commentary in contrast to the impact of cultural imperialism that stems from the Euro-centric worldview. Odinga’s objective has been to inspire healing and self-realization through his work. Rebel Shrine has been chosen to be part of an upcoming show at The Gregg Museum of Art & Design at North Carolina State University. Glenn Hinson, Associate Professor of Folklore and Anthropology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has watched Odinga’s work evolve for many years. He wrote “Few artists create work that can truly be called “monumental. Not merely in terms of size, but in terms of power, of its ability to challenge, to shake, to transform. Tyehimba is one such artist. For more than a decade, Odinga Tyehimba has been working on a single monumental piece, a multi-figured altar whose layered complexity speaks to cultural history, spiritual emergence, and personal growth. Each component of this masterwork tells a textured story, inviting viewers to confront the historical and spiritual realities of the African American experience.

  • Steel Patch, Cobb Warehouse, Third Floor, 2006.Around 3,000 female employees of Liggett & Myers, nearly all African-American, would strip the stems from tobacco leaves by hand inside Cobb Warehouse. It was a seasonal task, starting in September and continuing into the next year. They would wear blue dress uniforms, and when the whistle blew, would file out and walk two by two up the sidewalk to the Five Points neighborhood. "The sidewalk just about turned blue," said former employee Charlie Bock. In the second half of the 20th century, the task was automated and stems would be saved to be incorporated into the final smoking tobacco blend.
