Brenda Tindal: The New Historian For The Levine Museum Of The New South

Brenda Tindal

The museum known for documenting Charlotte’s story and its place in the New South is experiencing big changes.

The Levine Museum’s president Emily Zimmern is scheduled to retire in November, and its staff historian of over 15 years, Tom Hanchett, is phasing into retirement.

Now, 34-year-old Brenda Tindal is charged with documenting Charlotte’s past and present—the good and the bad. And as WFAE’s Sarah Delia found, she already has strong ties to the museum and Charlotte. 

Sarah Delia is a Senior Producer for Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins. Sarah joined the WFAE news team in 2014. An Edward R. Murrow Award-winning journalist, Sarah has lived and told stories from Maine, New York, Indiana, Alabama, Virginia and North Carolina. Sarah received her B.A. in English and Art history from James Madison University, where she began her broadcast career at college radio station WXJM. Sarah has interned and worked at NPR in Washington DC, interned and freelanced for WNYC, and attended the Salt Institute for Radio Documentary Studies.
