African American exhibit coming

Shirley Handley

“The Soul of Philanthropy,” a two-part exhibit focusing on the philanthropic efforts of African Americans in Bartholomew County and nationally, will be presented beginning Aug. 4 at The Commons, 300 Washington St. in downtown Columbus. The local exhibit, including such residents as Shirley Handley (pictured), will run through Aug. 30 — during Black Philanthropy Month — in the lower level of The Commons. And the national exhibit will be shown for about a week during that time.
