|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on June 14, 2016 Today, the long-awaited reopening of the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum was brought to fruition as Morgan State University President David Wilson, along with members of the Jackson-Mitchell Family, local and state leaders, and members of the Morgan family joined to cut the ribbon signifying the historic property as officially operational for public touring and research learning opportunities. The living museum, which underwent a substantial and carefully conducted $3 million restoration, highlights the life and legacy of its namesake – Dr. Lillie Carroll Jackson, a former Baltimore Chapter NAACP president and civil rights activist. “Dr. Jackson’s participation in Baltimore’s Civil Rights Movement was vital to initiating significant change and we’re proud to share that history with the world, introducing her contributions to a new generation of museumgoers,” said Dr. David Wilson. “With the reopening of this important piece of Civil Rights history, we are able to further expand Morgan’s educational offerings on the movement and create a place that offers a unique learning experience.” More: http://news.morgan.edu/morgan-cuts-ribbon-...
