In the scheme of the cataclysm that was March 2020, the closing of Say Their Names just two weeks after it opened was a small matter. It was a disappointment though. Though Imagination Station reopened later in the year, the pandemic raged on through the end of the year, and the exhibit closed in January 2021. Around that time though, Bill Myers, Executive Director of Freeman Round House and African-American Museum, reached out to ask if Say Their Names could move permanently to the Round House. Imagination Station said yes, and I, of course, agreed. Betsey Peters Rascoe and her talented team at Design Dimension adapted the original exhibit for the new space, which opened in March. If you weren’t able to see Say Their Names before, please stop by when you’re finally out and about again.

Congratulations Cousin Lisa, are you in Wilson with this new venture?
I am so looking forward to visiting the Freeman Roundhouse to see this exhibit on my next trip to Wilson, NC.
I know you’ll enjoy it!
That’s wonderful! Congratulations, Lisa!
Thank you, Laurie!
Lisa, you are a God send. I know that the ancestors are pleased with your efforts to find their stories a home.
Thanks so much for your steadfast support!
