Organization

The Levine Museum of the New South (LMNS) connects the past to the future to realize the promises of a new south. Created with, for, and about Charlotte’s diverse communities long before that approach was commonplace. LMNS was founded in 1991 as a “museum without walls” mounting exhibitions in public places, engaging the community through outreach programs, and developing a committed local audience. LMNS opened its first permanent home in 1996, gaining recognition as an innovative leader in the national museum community with award-winning work such as Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers, Courage, and NUEVOlution: Latinos in the New South. LMNS’ groundbreaking work explored often difficult subjects like school segregation, undocumented immigrant youth, and the 2016 police-involved shooting and death of Keith Lamont Scott, providing a hub and meeting ground to share ideas and have meaningful conversations.

Moving from its aging, beloved facility in 2022, LMNS embraced the opportunity to connect with its community in innovative ways and diverse places, from libraries and churches to breweries, universities, and its temporary home in Uptown Charlotte. These efforts broadened LMNS’ reach by nearly 43% serving 70,000 through on-site visits, community programs, and online initiatives. Nominated once again for the National Medal from the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences, since its first in 2005, LMNS continues to explore new and more dynamic ways to engage communities by bringing programming, digitally ambitious exhibitions, and immersive experiences.

Public programs in 2022, informed by a community advisory committee, included the provocative What Is It Going To Take? series, focusing on contemporary and deeply rooted social topics such as homelessness and immigration; Author Talks which provided opportunities to engage with and learn about influential authors while discovering contemporary books on historical topics; and Exhibitions in its uptown location and community-based venues including the recent Men of Change, Climates of Inequality, and Grier Heights: Community is Family. Expanding its catalog of digital experiences, LMNS’ 2022 season included 50 Places in Charlotte, NC History Case Studies, Youth Voices with young people creating history-based content for peers on topics that matter to them,and LMNS’ KnowCLT, an augmented reality tour of Brooklyn, a once-thriving African American community demolished and displaced by racist policies to enable the city’s ambitious plans for growth.

School and youth programming, developed with an Educator Advisory group, offers inquiry-based curricular resources, standards-aligned teacher professional development opportunities, and field trips in the city. Community engagement also featured six festival-style Family Days across the city, and traveling exhibitions like Grier Heights: Community is Family, an oral history project in collaboration with Grier Heights Community Center and Grier Heights residents highlighting 140+ years of community history.

Entering its third decade, LMNS welcomed President and CEO Dr. Richard Cooper, EdD who is leading the museum forward in innovative programming and storytelling that will foster community engagement and inclusive dialogue, expanding its regional and national reach both in-person and virtual experiences, and identifying a new permanent home for the museum.

LMNS is governed by a 24-member Board of Directors led by Chair Ty Niess and President and CEO Dr. Richard Cooper, EdD leads a staff of 21. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, LMNS reports a total revenue of $2.39 million with $2.3 million in contributions and grants and $68,000 in earned revenue.
