Program areas at Seek Museum

The 1929 Schochoh Rosenwald school was moved to the museum campus and restoration began on the building that will be used for educational purposes related to the history of segregated education.
The records related to Alice Dunnigan at Howard University and Emory University and in online listings were examined and digitized and added to the archival records of the museum for future use by researchers and for development of additional exhibits.
Repairs were made to the 1870 chapel located on the property owned by the people freed in 1839 by Richard Bibb so that the structure can be included in the museum's historical tours.
