“The Soul of Philanthropy,” an exhibit focusing on the philanthropic efforts of African Americans in Bartholomew County, will be presented this summer at The Commons in downtown Columbus.
And organizers are seeking public input by May 1 about local African Americans or organizations to possibly add to the display to highlight about 15 people and organizations, from community volunteers to educators and ministry leaders. The input should be submitted in 200 words or fewer and sent to Amy Laker at [email protected] and ideally should include a photo.
The local display also will be part of a national display, according to organizers.
“We just want to make sure there is no one we have really overlooked,” said Tom Harmon, one of the organizers who has been working on plans with others for months. “We just wanted to put out one last call.”
