Client Spotlight | Creative Corridors Coalition
In honor of Juneteenth, we are spotlighting the Peter Oliver Pavilion Gallery, a project initiated by our client, Creative Corridors Coalition, a tribute to the enduring faith, resilience, and contributions of Peter Oliver (1766–1810).

Who was Peter Oliver?
According to the CCC website, "Oliver was born into slavery, but through strength of spirit and support from the Moravian community of Salem, he gained his freedom and built a life rooted in purpose, family, and faith.
Oliver lived much of his life in Salem (now part of Winston-Salem), where the Moravian Church’s commitment to community, education, and Christian values shaped the town’s early identity. "

A Week of Celebration
WFDD shares that " the 225th anniversary freedom celebration of Juneteenth and Oliver's life is this week and includes a tour of the Peter Oliver Archives, a premiere of the documentary film, 'The Life and Legacy of Peter Oliver,' a public walk in Peter Oliver’s footsteps at Historic Bethabara Park, and the culmination on Saturday with the Winston-Salem Juneteenth Celebration at Bailey Park downtown."
