African Americans have had major accomplishments in where we are today on so many different levels despite the history of racism. I love the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments that paved the way. I joined the group touring for the Pope House Museum from Event Brte, which was organized as a free event by Connor for today. I appreciate that the Pope house is still in the spotlight in one of the most popular and busiest neighborhoods in Raleigh. Andy was the museum tour guide. Andy was always smiling and seemed passionate about sharing the details of the Pope House and the Pope family story. Andy did a fabulous job sharing how Manassa Thomas Pope (1858 - November 13, 1934) became one of Raleigh’s most influential African-American citizens of his day and the first Doctor of NC. There is so much history to absorb in this house. The most amazing discovery was the furniture, fine china, the decor, and the book collections, which gave a glimpse of what the Pope family had in their reading collection. Loved it!

Very interesting part of Raleigh & African-American history! Admission is free, but please consider dropping some money into the donation box. Dr. Pope was born to free parents. He graduated from Shaw University, & in 1885 he became the first African-American doctor in NC. He went on to found a medical society & health insurance company, & he had this gorgeous house built on Wilmington Street in 1901. He was a truly exceptional person; I'm surprised so many Raleigh residents seem to know little about him.

An unexpected gem in the heart of Raleigh. I got told that the museum was planning to start renovations soon by the end of the month given that the house has seen some wear and tear and when the person running the museum turned on the sink, the water looked off like an orange color which most likely contains lead. Otherwise, the museum didn't take a lot of time to go through and admission was free and was somewhat interesting.

We had a wonderful experience at the Pope House today. When we entered the house we were promptly greeted by Andy who ended up being our tour guide. Andy did an outstanding job of telling the history of Dr.Pope and his family. He mentioned quite a few things that piqued our interest and he came across as someone who really enjoys what he is doing. This was a great learning experience for my children as well my wife and myself. I would highly recommend the Pope...
