The Black History 101 Mobile Museum was on display February 24 in the Student Success Center. The awardwinning display features a collection of over 10,000 original artifacts of Black memorabilia dating from the trans-Atlantic slave trade era to hip-hop culture. Founded by Dr. Khalid el-Hakim, the Black History 101 Mobile Museum has been called the “Schomburg of the Hip-Hop generation” because of his passionate commitment to carry on the rich tradition of the Black Museum Movement.
Many of these high-demand programs are covered through workforce scholarships whereby South Carolina residents can take advantage of zero-cost tuition.
