Getting Ready

The staff, student interns and work study students of the IP Stanback Museum & Planetarium are busy getting ready for the next exhibition, James Brown: Preserving The Legacy, and were surprised and honored when Deanna Brown, James Brown's daughter, visited Wednesday, February 4.

Ms. Brown provided valuable information about some of the family pictures, clothing and other items belonging to The Godfather of Soul.

UPDATE: The staff of the Stanback would like to express their deepest sympathies to the Overton and Brown families - Ella Overton passed away March 7, 2009.
