Dallas, TX 75201

A joyous Broadway spectacle that has thrilled audiences on three continents. This Tony Award winner, directed and choreographed by the renowned Bill T. Jones, explores the extravagant world of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti. Fela! sold out its run at London’s prestigious National Theatre, where The Guardian’s Michael Billington exclaimed, “It breaks down conventional barriers between stage and auditorium and joins passion and politics. The dancing is ecstatic, the music lifts the spirits, and the stage is alive with movement.” Ben Brantley of The New York Times raved, “There should be dancing in the streets!”

The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville Exhibition on Display at the Pearce Museum

2013-05-20T15:00:00Z

Pearce Museum
3100 W. Collin St.
Corsicana, Texas 75110
Monday, May 20, 2013, 10am

In early May of 1863, two events occurred that would change the course of American history. The Battle of Chancellorsville was fought in the tangled woods surrounding an otherwise unremarkable family home, and in a tragic case of mistaken identity, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was fired upon by his own troops and grievously wounded.
The Battle of Chancellorsville saw the second bloodiest day of the Civil War, the downfall of yet another Union general, and the end to Lincoln’s hopes for a swift end of the war. Visit the Pearce Museum on the campus of Navarro College in Corsicana to see The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small, a temporary exhibition about the Battle of Chancellorsville, to discover even more about this monumental event.
Thanks to the audacious decisions of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy won the battle for Chancellorsville. Facing a force twice the size of his own, Lee divided his army not once but twice, confounding a two-prong maneuver by Union general Joseph Hooker. Many historians argue that it was this victory that gave Lee both the confidence and the backing of the Confederate government to make his disastrous advance into Pennsylvania in July that would prove the turning point of the war in the East.
Dampening the victory, however, was the death of “Stonewall” Jackson. Lee’s favorite commander lost his left arm to the injury caused by his own men. His prognosis was at first favorable and his recovery seemed likely. Pneumonia set in a few days after the injury, however, and Jackson took a turn for the worse. Compounded by the shock and blood loss caused by the amputation, the pneumonia weakened Jackson until he could fight it no longer. On Sunday, May 10, 1863 the Confederacy lost its’ best hope for winning the Civil War. The man Lee depended on above all others had fallen.
Join us through June 30, 2013 to experience The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville. The Pearce Museum is open to the public Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. General admission applies. NC employees and students come in free with id.

The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville Exhibition on Display at the Pearce Museum

2013-05-24T15:00:00Z

Pearce Museum
3100 W. Collin St.
Corsicana, Texas 75110
Friday, May 24, 2013, 10am

In early May of 1863, two events occurred that would change the course of American history. The Battle of Chancellorsville was fought in the tangled woods surrounding an otherwise unremarkable family home, and in a tragic case of mistaken identity, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was fired upon by his own troops and grievously wounded.
The Battle of Chancellorsville saw the second bloodiest day of the Civil War, the downfall of yet another Union general, and the end to Lincoln’s hopes for a swift end of the war. Visit the Pearce Museum on the campus of Navarro College in Corsicana to see The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small, a temporary exhibition about the Battle of Chancellorsville, to discover even more about this monumental event.
Thanks to the audacious decisions of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy won the battle for Chancellorsville. Facing a force twice the size of his own, Lee divided his army not once but twice, confounding a two-prong maneuver by Union general Joseph Hooker. Many historians argue that it was this victory that gave Lee both the confidence and the backing of the Confederate government to make his disastrous advance into Pennsylvania in July that would prove the turning point of the war in the East.
Dampening the victory, however, was the death of “Stonewall” Jackson. Lee’s favorite commander lost his left arm to the injury caused by his own men. His prognosis was at first favorable and his recovery seemed likely. Pneumonia set in a few days after the injury, however, and Jackson took a turn for the worse. Compounded by the shock and blood loss caused by the amputation, the pneumonia weakened Jackson until he could fight it no longer. On Sunday, May 10, 1863 the Confederacy lost its’ best hope for winning the Civil War. The man Lee depended on above all others had fallen.
Join us through June 30, 2013 to experience The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville. The Pearce Museum is open to the public Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. General admission applies. NC employees and students come in free with id.

This exhibition in Texas Discovery Gardens’ gallery is curated by Janet Reynolds.

Opening Reception: 4 pm to 6 pm Saturday, May 25, 2013. Free admission for visitors attending the reception.

Runs: May 25, 2013 through Aug. 16, 2013. Texas Discovery Gardens admission applies. $8/adults, $6/ages 60+, and $4/ages 3 to 11. Free for members or on Tuesdays (butterfly house admission regular price).

Artist Statement

Not long after I moved into my new home (a metal building), I noticed that hummingbirds were entering the warehouse by one of the high overhead doors, and that although both overhead doors were open, providing points of light, the birds could not seem to find their way out. They stayed high up in the ceiling. I tried desperately to save them, but the birds simply could not see the doors in front of them.

The experience with the birds made me think of Bede and gave me pause to think: What if we were like those birds? What if there was a way into the great unknown that we simply could not see because we were so handicapped by our cultural vision that we would not even look at another possibility when it was right before us? Since that epiphany, I have been searching for that simple, obvious passageway, which I believe is held somewhere in nature, the subject of this body of work.

-- Jackie MacLelland

The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville Exhibition on Display at the Pearce Museum

2013-05-27T15:00:00Z

Pearce Museum
3100 W. Collin St.
Corsicana, Texas 75110
Monday, May 27, 2013, 10am

In early May of 1863, two events occurred that would change the course of American history. The Battle of Chancellorsville was fought in the tangled woods surrounding an otherwise unremarkable family home, and in a tragic case of mistaken identity, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was fired upon by his own troops and grievously wounded.
The Battle of Chancellorsville saw the second bloodiest day of the Civil War, the downfall of yet another Union general, and the end to Lincoln’s hopes for a swift end of the war. Visit the Pearce Museum on the campus of Navarro College in Corsicana to see The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small, a temporary exhibition about the Battle of Chancellorsville, to discover even more about this monumental event.
Thanks to the audacious decisions of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy won the battle for Chancellorsville. Facing a force twice the size of his own, Lee divided his army not once but twice, confounding a two-prong maneuver by Union general Joseph Hooker. Many historians argue that it was this victory that gave Lee both the confidence and the backing of the Confederate government to make his disastrous advance into Pennsylvania in July that would prove the turning point of the war in the East.
Dampening the victory, however, was the death of “Stonewall” Jackson. Lee’s favorite commander lost his left arm to the injury caused by his own men. His prognosis was at first favorable and his recovery seemed likely. Pneumonia set in a few days after the injury, however, and Jackson took a turn for the worse. Compounded by the shock and blood loss caused by the amputation, the pneumonia weakened Jackson until he could fight it no longer. On Sunday, May 10, 1863 the Confederacy lost its’ best hope for winning the Civil War. The man Lee depended on above all others had fallen.
Join us through June 30, 2013 to experience The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville. The Pearce Museum is open to the public Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. General admission applies. NC employees and students come in free with id.

A Taste Of Freedom

Help Us Celebrate A Taste of Freedom!

150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation

In Texas, June 19th commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in 1865. In honor of this historic event, all descendants of Freedmen should unite to honor, thank, and celebrate their ancestors who played an important role in our freedom.

Because of its pivotal role in slavery’s destruction and in the history of our nation, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is revered today as one of the great documents of human freedom. Although its effects were gradual, the Emancipation Proclamation fundamentally transformed the Civil War from a war to save the Union into a war for freedom. It placed the issue of slavery squarely atop the wartime agenda, adding moral force to the Union cause and strengthening the Union militarily and politically. After January 1, 1863, every Union victory meant freedom for more people.

Enjoy a tasty Strawberry Pecan Cupcake from the Original Cupcakery located at 132 E. 4th Street in downtown Fort Worth during the entire month of June. With the purchase of this delicious cupcake a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Tarrant County Black Historical & Genealogical Society. While you’re there, register to win 2 tickets to see “Mirandy & Brother Wind” at the Jubilee Theatre July 19 - August 11, 2013. This musical is perfect family entertainment for the hot summer months.

Visit the Lenora Rolla Heritage Center Museum and find various materials, links to resources, and other research tools to help you learn more about the Freedmen, their families, and your family! We encourage you to visit us at 1020 E. Humbolt Street, Fort Worth, TX 76104, so that you may enrich your knowledge of the contributions and achievements of African Americans in Tarrant County and worldwide.

The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville Exhibition on Display at the Pearce Museum

2013-06-01T15:00:00Z

Pearce Museum
3100 W. Collin St.
Corsicana, Texas 75110
Saturday, June 1, 2013, 10am

In early May of 1863, two events occurred that would change the course of American history. The Battle of Chancellorsville was fought in the tangled woods surrounding an otherwise unremarkable family home, and in a tragic case of mistaken identity, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was fired upon by his own troops and grievously wounded.
The Battle of Chancellorsville saw the second bloodiest day of the Civil War, the downfall of yet another Union general, and the end to Lincoln’s hopes for a swift end of the war. Visit the Pearce Museum on the campus of Navarro College in Corsicana to see The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small, a temporary exhibition about the Battle of Chancellorsville, to discover even more about this monumental event.
Thanks to the audacious decisions of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy won the battle for Chancellorsville. Facing a force twice the size of his own, Lee divided his army not once but twice, confounding a two-prong maneuver by Union general Joseph Hooker. Many historians argue that it was this victory that gave Lee both the confidence and the backing of the Confederate government to make his disastrous advance into Pennsylvania in July that would prove the turning point of the war in the East.
Dampening the victory, however, was the death of “Stonewall” Jackson. Lee’s favorite commander lost his left arm to the injury caused by his own men. His prognosis was at first favorable and his recovery seemed likely. Pneumonia set in a few days after the injury, however, and Jackson took a turn for the worse. Compounded by the shock and blood loss caused by the amputation, the pneumonia weakened Jackson until he could fight it no longer. On Sunday, May 10, 1863 the Confederacy lost its’ best hope for winning the Civil War. The man Lee depended on above all others had fallen.
Join us through June 30, 2013 to experience The Great Must Fall as Well as the Small: The Battle of Chancellorsville. The Pearce Museum is open to the public Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. General admission applies. NC employees and students come in free with id.
