What was once a symbol of the Civil Rights era is now a history lesson for all.
DOTHAN, Ala. - Since 2000, thehas been a place to preserve history, provide outreach and act as a source for the rich past of African Americans.
The G.W. Carver Interpretive Museum was once a segregated greyhound bus station, but in the year 2000 Francina Williams revitalized the space into a rich history lesson for all. “Especially our youth, you know, sometimes they don’t have the examples so to come in and see that there were great people who are similar to them and have set great tones for life,” Hinton said.“The Carver Museum was once a segregated greyhound bus station here in Dothan,” Jones said.“The African American people would have to sit you know away from the actual station,” Hinton said.
Carver once said, “Where there is no vision, there is no hope.” This museum is preserving the many visions of those who moved the needle for African Americans.
