The Museum of the Albemarle is set to unveil two new traveling exhibits next month. One exhibit will celebrate pioneering African American surgeons, while the other will provide a brief history of voting rights in the United States. “Opening Doors: Contemporary African American Academic Surgeons” will open on June 3, followed by “Who Can Vote: Brief History of Voting Rights in the United States” on June 4 at the museum located at 501 S. Water St.
Produced by the National Library of Medicine, the “Opening Doors” exhibit features a six-banner display and a companion website. This exhibition honors the longstanding tradition of African American healers and physicians and highlights the contributions of African American academic surgeons to the fields of medicine and medical education. The exhibit will be available for viewing until July 13.
