“We are thrilled to partner with Alabama State University at such an important time of year, as we honor the past and present contributions of African Americans to our country’s history,” said the executive director. by MGM, Wade A. Davis.
The collection will remain on display in the airport lobby until March 8 and is free and open to the public.
