We had such a great evening at the Fountain Inn Museum last week with Walter Curry and his program on the life and legacy of Dr. Matilda A. Evans! 📚✨

It was so special seeing our community come together to learn more about South Carolina’s first African American woman licensed medical doctor 👩🏿‍⚕️and the incredible impact she made on our state’s history. Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the night so meaningful!

A huge thank you as well to South Carolina Humanities for helping support programs like this ❤️
