The UNC Greensboro Museum Studies Class of 2021 will host an upcoming exhibition entitled, “More than Just a Home: Greensboro’s Historic Magnolia House,” at the Magnolia House from 1 – 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, via Zoom.
The Magnolia House is one of only four Green Book sites in North Carolina still in operation, and housed some of our nation’s most well-known African Americans during segregation.
Learn about the home’s historic significance to the Civil Rights Movement, its role in Greensboro, and the importance of preserving African American houses from the home’s resident curator and Preservation Greensboro’s Benjamin Briggs, with a Q&A session to follow. Included will be a 6-minute video guide through the exhibition.
The Zoom link for the event can be found here.
Also, be sure to check out the Magnolia House story in the Fall 2020 UNCG Magazine.
