African-American Golf Exhibition At Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History
Leon Myers, WJBF-TV, 04.03.12
A traveling exhibit at the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History in Augusta tells the story of African-Americans in Golf.
It opened in Washington, D.C. in 1999 and has been on display in cities all across the country...
Lucy Craft Laney Travelling Exhibition in Warrenton, Ga.
Corey Rogers, Museum Historian, 02.25.12
This photo was taken this past Tuesday in Warrenton, Georgia. People from the community turned out to hear more about Ms. Laney and what we do at the museum. Many of them were also interested in genealogy. The traveling exhibition has been a worthwhile investment in promoting what we do at the Laney Museum. Thus far, the exhibit has traveled to Burke, McDuffie and Warren Counties and will continue on to Washington County in March.
The Lucy Craft Laney Museum is the only African American Museum in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA, Augusta and its Surrounding Areas). The museum, which opened in 1991, is a small house museum that was the former home of Miss Lucy Craft Laney.
The museum is located in the Historic Laney-Walker District, near the original site of the Haines Normal and Industrial Institute. The mission of the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History is to promote the legacy of Ms. Lucy Craft Laney through arts and history. We accomplish this awesome task by educating and exposing children and adults of the CSRA, the State and beyond to the arts, history, literature and leadership through exhibits and programs.
The Preservation of a Legacy
Ms. Laney dedicated her life to providing educational opportunities for Black youth in the Augusta area. Ms. Laney was the founder of the Haines Normal and Industrial Institute which was located on the present site of the Lucy Laney Comprehensive High School. She started the first kindergarten for Black children in Augusta and founded the Lamar School of Nursing for Black women.
The Lucy Laney High School, Laney Walker Boulevard (formerly Gwinnett Street) and the Laney Walker North Historic District have all been named in Ms. Laney's honor. Now through the restoration of her home by Delta House, Inc., another important cultural institution has been dedicated in her memory.
The museum is open to all.
