Raleigh is the capital city of North Carolina. It’s known for its universities, including North Carolina State University. The number of technology and scholarly institutions around Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Durham make the area known as the Research Triangle. The North Carolina State Capitol is a 19th-century Greek Revival–style building with a statue of George Washington dressed as a Roman general in its rotunda.
Raleigh Neighborhoods such as :
Boylan Heights
Cameron Park
Five Points
Glenwood/Brooklyn
Oakwood
Mordecai
The downtown area is home to historic buildings such as the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel built in the early 20th century, the restored City Market, the Fayetteville Street downtown business district, which includes the PNC Plaza and Wells Fargo Capitol Center buildings, as well as the North Carolina Museum of History, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, North Carolina State Capitol, William Peace University, the City of Raleigh Museum, Raleigh Convention Center, Shaw University, Campbell University School of Law, and St. Augustine's College. In the 2000s, an effort by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance was made to separate this area of the city into five smaller districts: Fayetteville Street, Moore Square, Glenwood South, Warehouse (Raleigh), and Capital District (Raleigh). Some of the names have become common place among locals such as the Warehouse, Fayetteville Street, and Glenwood South Districts.
The Inside the Beltline neighborhoods include Cameron Park, Boylan Heights, Country Club Hills, Coley Forest, Five Points, Budleigh, Glenwood-Brooklyn, Hayes Barton Historic District, Moore Square, Mordecai, Rosengarten Park, Belvidere Park, Woodcrest, Oberlin Village, and Historic Oakwood. Inside the Beltline refers to I-440 which used to be called the Beltline before being re-branded to ease driver navigation. These neighborhoods were typically built before World War II.
Midtown Raleigh is a residential and commercial area just North of the I-440 Beltline and is part of North Raleigh. It is roughly framed by Glenwood/Creedmoor Road to the West, Wake Forest Road to the East, and Millbrook Road to the North. It includes shopping centers such as North Hills and Crabtree Valley Mall. It also includes North Hills Park and part of the Raleigh Greenway System. The term was coined by the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, developer John Kane and planning director Mitchell Silver. The News & Observer newspaper started using the term for marketing purposes only. The Midtown Raleigh Alliance was founded on July 25, 2011 as a way for community leaders to promote the area.
Southeast Raleigh is bounded by downtown on the west, Garner on the southwest, and rural Wake County to the southeast. The area includes areas along Rock Quarry Road, Poole Road, and New Bern Avenue. Primary neighborhoods include Chastain, Chavis Heights, Raleigh Country Club, Southgate, Kingwood Forest, Rochester Heights, Emerald Village and Biltmore Hills. Coastal Credit Union Music Park (formerly Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion, Alltel Pavilion and Walnut Creek Amphitheatre) is one of the region's major outdoor concert venues and is located on Rock Quarry Road. Shaw University is located in this part of the city.

Winston - Salem, NC (DJI Mavic Pro Footage)
Winston - Salem, North Carolina ( Twin City) is the fifth largest city in North Carolina and the 89th largest in the United States.
This county seat City for Forsyth County was founded when?
The City of Salem was founded in 1766 - but started back in 1753 when Bishop August Gottlieb Spangenberg ( Moravian Church) selected to settle on a site in the Three Forks of Muddy Creek. The area at that time was called die Wachau' which in latin terms means Wachovia. In 1766 , the town chose the name of Salem for their settlement which means Peace.
In 1849 , the Settlement of Salem sold land north of Salem to the new formed county Foryth so that it could be used as the county seat. They called this land the county town till 1851 when it was renamed Winston. The town was named after the Revolutionary War hero - Joseph Winston.
In 1880 , the US Post Office started referring to the two towns as Winston-Salem. Then in 1899 , the Post Office established the Winston-Salem post office in Winston. Then in 1913 - after a referendum the two towns were incorporated as Winston Salem.
Many nicknames have been given to the City like these.....
Twin City - for the joining of the two cities
City of Arts & Innovation - the dedication to the fine arts.
Camel City - referring to the cigarette history
Dash - which refers to the dash in the City's name.
Winston-Salem has a deep and interesting history. Too much that it can't be describe here - whether it's the history in Tobacco or Moravian Cookies? Or the forming of the bank once named Wachovia which was bought by Wells Fargo - you should read up on the history.
Winston - Salem is a beautiful city close to two popular state parks - Pilot Mountain & Hanging Rock which can be enjoyed during your time in the area. Or go by and visit the Old Salem site founded in 1766. Or enjoy many nice attractions around the University of Wake Forest.
Whatever you decide to do - you should enjoy this dual city...

Women, Woolworths & Winning Equality, a short historical documentary about Greensboro Sit-ins
I made this film in 2010 as part of my course work at the Documentary Film Program at Wake Forest University with a colleague, Vanessa Moorer. This was the first time I did something related to the Civil Rights struggle in America, and I was deeply moved by the experience. The short talks about the role of women in the Greensboro Sit-ins in the 1960s particularly the ones at the Woolworths Store in Downtown Greensboro, NC.
The archival material used in the short ranges from photos from NC's protests to protests from all over the country that are representative of the times. I did the filming and editing for this piece while Vanessa did the producing and research.

4. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, US President
And while our schools are no longer segregated by law, they are still not equal in opportunity and excellence. Justice requires more than a place in a school, justice requires that every school teach every child in America.

6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Colin Powell, US Secretary of State
Back then I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't even be sitting there. Look how much has changed, look what this law has done for us. Look how this law has changed America for the better. How the law showed again to the world how the American people can look in the mirror and see their own reflection and that they don't like that reflection, because of our democratic system, because of the nature of our founding documents, because of our constitutions and our courts we can change things for the better.

9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Senator John Kerry, US Democratic Presidential Candidate
It's not a political statement, it is a matter of common sense and it's a matter of truth to say to America you cannot promise no child left behind and then pursue policies that leave millions of children behind every single day.
10. Wide shot of Kansas statehouse
STORYLINE:
The Kansas school that was at the centre of the fight against segregation in the United States has been turned into a historical museum.
Thousands of people from across the country, including US President George W Bush and Senator John Kerry, gathered in Topeka to mark Monday's anniversary, which included the transformation of Monroe Elementary School into a national historic site.
It has been 50 years since the US Supreme Court ruled that separating students by race was inherently unequal and unconstitutional.
The Brown versus Board of Education ruling - named after a challenge in Topeka but encompassing five different cases - helped energise the civil rights movement, although resistance delayed desegregation for years.
President Bush said the Supreme Court's decision changed America for the better and forever, but he warned that its promise of equality remained unfulfilled.
US Secretary of State Colin Powell also spoke about the Brown ruling during a commencement speech at Wake Forest University in North Carolina.
Bush's Democratic rival, Senator John Kerry, attended a different ceremony in Topeka on Monday, contending that schools remain separate and unequal and warning that some were trying to reverse the gains made in civil rights, including affirmative action.
He said millions of children got a second-class education because they were poor.
Bush, who opposes affirmative action programmes for minorities, is unlikely to win over many black voters, said David Bositis, a political scientist at the Joint Centre for Political and Economic Studies, a think tank focused on black issues.
Bush and Democratic challenger Kerry have been running close nationally on the question of who would do a better job on education. Bush is widely credited for helping the Republican Party claim ground in public education.
