Some local middle schoolers go back in time at the Elmore County Black History Museum in Wetumpka.
After a short welcome ceremony and lesson on what Black History month means by Wetumpka city officials, fourth graders from Wetumpka Middle School watched a quilt making presentation and toured the entire museum.
It’s all thanks to The Elmore County Association of Black Heritage, in association with, The Lucille Wise Memorial Foundation, Incorporated.
The mission of the Elmore County Black History Museum is to promote a better understanding of black history in Elmore County.
“we wanted to make sure they got understanding of the history because the children are our future and we want them to understand what happened then, that’s not happening now and why we should be together and work together.” says the founder of Lucille Wise Foundation, Winfred Wise.
The museum is open on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m…
