State Library hosts Freedom Now exhibit through March 29, 2019

Freedom Now exhibit images

In honor of Black History Month, we are excited to partner with Columbia SC 63 and host "Freedom Now." Beginning February 8, we will showcase images taken during the height of the civil rights movement. Many of the images are undocumented, presenting a unique opportunity to the public. We invite you to visit the State Library and to help us 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. For more information, please contact Denise Lyons.

Upcoming Event

A large number of books open on a table, their text visible.
