Gallery Talk: Freedom Now and Columbia SC 63

Join us on March 20 at 5:00 p.m. for a presentation by Dr. Bobby Donaldson on the State Library's "Freedom Now" exhibit. The South Carolina State Library has partnered with Columbia SC 63 to host the exhibit, which features photos taken during the height of the civil rights movement. Many of the images are undocumented. You are invited to visit us and enjoy the presentation and exhibit as well as help identify the people in the photos and the dates they were taken. The exhibition is a significant part of our state's history and on display until March 29.

Doors open to public at 5:00 p.m. for exhibit viewing and light refreshments.

This is a free event, however, registration is required.
