According to Founder and President Ralph Hunter, Sr., this exhibit follows a very popular display devoted to the life and times of music legend Prince.

"We're extremely proud of our vast collection of art and memorabilia focusing on the African American experience — much of which has been donated," he said. "This is what allows us to quickly curate exhibits honoring local and national figures who have had a lasting impact on Black life in America."
