The Nine O’Clock Whistle brings together documentary film, oral history, and archival research to trace life in Enfield, North Carolina during the years 1963–1965.
At the center of the film is a community shaped by segregation, where a nightly siren once regulated public space—and where acts of collective resistance began to shift what was possible.
Following the screening, a conversation will offer space to reflect on the film’s construction, its sources, and the role of storytelling in preserving lived experience.

Visitors are invited to come experience this work in person alongside other collaborations featured throughout the gallery.

Since 2005, Fred taught drawing and painting courses in PAFA’s CE program, combining a deep knowledge of artistic technique with good humor and skillful guidance. His own artwork blended abstract and representational elements to fuse the personal with the cosmic and to create narratives that speak of conditions in the contemporary world.
We are grateful for Fred’s generosity in all that he shared through his art, teaching, and friendship. He will be deeply missed. To honor Fred’s memory, the family respectfully requests that donations be made in lieu of sending flowers, with the safety of pets in mind.
Memorial Information: Fred's family has warmly welcomed members of the PAFA community to attend his memorial service.
