Winston-Salem Foundation grant takes Children's Museum step closer to reality SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE * - "The Children's Museum of Winston-Salem has been awarded a grant of $65,000 by The Win ston-Salem Foundation." Susan C. Elster, president, said. Accord I iOg to Elster, the grant will be used to help fund the building of the Children's Museum of Win ston-Salem with interactive exhibits designed to bring chil dren's books and stories to life. The museum will be built in ; downtown Winston-Salem at the - corner of Liberty Street and Brookstown Avenue, near Old Salem and the Southeast Gateway. ? "Our organization's mission is to offer our diverse community a compelling destination for chil dren and families to learn togeth er through stimulating, hands-on experiences focusing on chil dren's literature, storytelling and the arts. The grant from the Win ston-Salem Foundation will pro vide us the additional funding to reach our capital campaign goal." Stan Kelly, executive vice president of Wachovia Bank, and Marie Flow Arcuri of Flow Auto motive are the campaign co chairs. Funds from the Winston Salem Foundation are made avail able from the Mary Reynolds Babcock Cultural Improvement Fund and the Samuel A. and Roslyn S. Harris Fund. The concept for a Children's Museum of Winston-Salem evolved from focus groups held in 1998 when the Junior League cel ebrated its 75th anniversary year, when extensive research was con ducted to determine what project would best serve an unmet com munity need. The Children's Museum received separate non profit status, as a 501 (c) (3) orga nization in February 2000. According to recent census figures. 15 percent (or 44,306 children) of the population of Forsyth County is comprised of children between the ages of birth to fifth grade, with 16.2 percent of the children in Forsyth County below the poverty level. The Children's Museum is dedicated to providing innovative early childhood education oppor tunities - through hands-on exhi bitions and developmentally sup portive educator-led programs - to children and families of all backgrounds and to the many who are disadvantaged.

Olivers from page A/ vians to revisit. From the time the community was settled, it relied on slave labor and paid black labor. In fact, Joseph R. Lineberg er, superintendent of God's Acre, said Salem could not have been built without blacks. "For some Moravians it may be an embarrassment, but it is our history," he said. Peter Oliver is also the first African American to have his or her headstone replaced in God's Acre. George Jones Jr., a seventh generation descendant of Peter Oliver, hovered over the head stone with his three children and tried as best he could to explain the growing family tree. Jones, born in Raleigh and now a Vir ginia resident, said he, especially, wanted his children to experience the event. "I want them to have a better understanding of where they came from and who they are," he said. "That has been a tragedy for African Americans. We have not been able to go back in our family history." The present-day descendants of Peter Oliver would have made him proud. They have established I themselves in many respectable professions throughout the coun try. Eighty-seven-year-old Oliver Benbow, a Winston-Salem resi dent who is the oldest member of one of the branches, tobk time to not only look down at the clean, crisp, new headstone, but up toward the sky as well. "They are smiling down at us on this day," he said with a smile. 1 The relatives decided on a marble headstone for Peter Oliver after they sow several marble stones in God's Acre last year.
