description

Join Reynolda's Director of Archives and Library, Bari Helms, to learn about the history of Five Row, a segregated community for Black farm workers and their families located on the edge of the Reynolda estate. Residents of Five Row dug foundations for buildings, cleared land for agricultural fields, and worked the farm from the 1910s to the late 1950s. Discover the lives of the Black men and women who shaped Reynolda as it evolved from a Jim Crow-era working estate into a museum for American art. Bio: Bari Helms, Director of Archives and Library at Reynolda, holds a B.A. in history from Duke University and a Masters in Library and Information Science from UNC-Chapel Hill. Prior to her 2014 arrival at Reynolda, she was a local records archivist at the Library of Virginia in Richmond. At Reynolda, she helped develop the Reynolda Revealed app and has curated exhibits, including Katharine Smith Reynolds Johnston: A Self in the Remaking and Still I Rise: The Black Experience at Reynolda.
