In this week's episode, we welcome George Bayard, Executive Director of The Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives.
The Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives’ mission is to collect and retell the rich, colorful stories that compose the historic African American tapestry of living in Grand Rapids.
George Bayard joined us on the program to speak about the big move for GRAAMA to a new location full of immense potential for the organization.
The Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives (GRAAMA)is moving to 41 Sheldon Avenue SE in downtown Grand Rapids, which will serve as the organization's permanent home.
Their new 30,000-square-foot space will be a major upgrade from the museum's former 2,000-square-foot building on Monroe Center.
Bayard encouraged community members to get involved by contributing to the project or serving as a volunteer.
