A donation from Food City will help preserve Chattanooga’s African American history.
Food City managers presented the $15,000 donation to representatives of the Bessie Smith Cultural Center recently.
The donation will support the center’s mission to preserve and celebrate African American history and culture in Chattanooga through art, education, research and entertainment.
The center is home to extensive exhibits on local history, Black artists from Chattanooga and the area’s civil rights actions.
