Barnes to Present Black History Month Lecture at Randolph Community College Feb. 11
The Randolph Community College Cultural Arts Series continues in February with a Black History Month lecture by Robert T. Barnes III on Friday, Feb. 11 at 2 p.m. in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium on the Asheboro Campus. Admission is free, but seating is limited.
Barnes' lecture, "The History of Black History Month," is an introductory lecture designed to familiarize students with the history and importance of this designation. "Why do we have a Black History Month? Why is it celebrated in February? Why is it called 'Black' history and not 'African American'? Why is this observance important? These are basic questions," said Barnes, "that are unfamiliar to many Americans. The History of Black History Month will address all of these questions, as well as provide a general introduction to the study of African American history."
Currently an instructor of history for Central Carolina Community College, teaching primarily from the Pittsboro Campus, Barnes completed his undergraduate and graduate work at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. His graduate thesis topic was "An Historiographic Analysis of Marcus Garvey."
Go to www.randolph.edu/newevents/culturalarts.php to download a free ticket. RCC's Asheboro Campus is located at 629 Industrial Park Avenue. Take the McDowell Road exit off of U.S. 220 Bypass/I73-74 and follow the signs.

18 Couples Chosen for Randolph Community College Foundation's 2011 Dancing with the Randolph Stars
The local "celebrities" who are volunteering their skills for the Randolph Community College Foundation's 2011 Dancing with the Randolph Stars benefit filled The Exchange Banquet and Meeting Hall recently for a Meet the Stars 2011 reception. The dancers--some veterans of the 2010 inaugural event and some new--mingled and chatted with each other, and with Planning Committee members and dance instructors. They posed for portraits for the event program and waited nervously for the high point of the evening--the announcement of the pairing of dance partners.
