Ms. Sharee McCall, Esq.

Secretary

Ms Sharee L. McCall, Esq., a Raleigh native, serves on the Executive Board as Secretary for the African-American Cultural Arts and History Center. Prior to becoming a board member, she sought out various community efforts and non-profit organizations who were making a great impact. With that, she joined the Board in 2017, after speaking with the founder, the late Jane Sellars. Ms. McCall was blown away by the diligence and passion exhibited by Mrs. Sellars after attending an Alamance County Commissioners’ meeting in Burlington, NC. Although she was not from the area, she felt a sense of closeness because of her research on the historic Hayti District located in Durham, NC. A predominately black, independent community founded after the Civil War. The area flourished vastly, so much so there were over 200 black-owned businesses. Around the 1960s, urban renewal and development resulted in several acres of land being expropriated. Given these circumstances, the vision, goal and mission of the organization became abundantly clear. She strongly believes that the Center has the potential to innovate, inspire and serve as a cornerstone of the community of Alamance County. Read More
