Greenville Journal: “Greer gallery hosts International African American Museum anniversary celebration”
The International African American Museum in Charleston held a one-year anniversary celebration at the Hampton III Gallery in Taylors.
The museum is located on 14 Wharfside St. in downtown Charleston, just down the harbor from the South Carolina Aquarium. An Upstate venue may seem like an odd fit for the celebration, but not when you dig a little deeper.
“So one of the things we want to definitely do is celebrate all of South Carolina and the stories that we tell, particularly as we explain how important South Carolina was to the rise of the nation in the past, present and hopefully in the future,” said Tonya M. Matthews, president and CEO of the museum. So Greenville is just up the road, and so we definitely wanted to be sure to celebrate our milestone here, as well as in our home base in Charleston.”
