Join us Friday, October 14th, 2016 as we honor Bernard and Shirley Kinsey with the Lee P. Brown Outstanding Excellence Award!
Bernard and Shirley are widely heralded for their stewardship of art, books and manuscripts that document and tell the remarkable story of African Americans' triumphs and struggles from 1604 to present.
Having been seen by millions on television and radio nationally, The Kinsey Collection is one of the largest private collections of artifacts tracing African-American history.It includes sculptures, paintings, and documents with rich historical value. Among their treasures, rarities such as a letter written from Malcolm X to Alex Haley, two years before the 1965 assassination of M
alcolm X.
In 2014, HMAAC hosted the Kinsey's extensive selection of works and received national attention for the Wells Fargo Presents - African American Treasures from The Kinsey Collection exhibition.
This is a night you don't want to miss as we honor their dedication to the preservation of African American History and Culture.
