Of course since Mrs. Davis is the Curator I often here about events and the most recent exhibits and visitors. This cultural center provides such a rich source of history and culture to inform the lives of diverse audiences including international ones. It is a treasure of history as well as culture of the region that showcases accomplishments of African Americans who gave so much so that we all could experience a richer life. Thanks to the Oakes, Mrs. Clementine Davis, Mrs. Catherine Brent, Mr. H.A. Scott, Mrs. Virginia Scott, Ms. Edna Myles, Ms. Edith Myles, Ms. Margaret Harris, Mr. Joseph Thomas and all the other visionaries who made this musuem a reality and a must place to visit while in my own hometown of Yazoo City, Mississippi.

It was wonderful. This place is absolutey amazing. When I was a little girl playing with my cousins on Monroe street, we used to pass by and Mr. Oakes would be setting on the porch, I was so scared, because back then the house was brown in color and scary looking; I had no idea I would someday go through those double doors. If anyone ever travels to Y.C, stop by the musuem for a small tour. They are in the process of repairing, but there is still so much to see.
