The first half of the history museum exhibit has been taken down and put safely to rest for another year.  The new exhibit went up over the weekend.  Part 2 is vibrant, full of color, sounds and information to awaken the senses.  This new exhibit includes, everyday life, music, arts and entertainment, politics, and Blacks in the military.  Teachers were invited to a preview and museum talk to discover ways to best utilize the museum with their classes. 

Guest visitor Lakisha Jackson was able to stump groups that she spoke to at the "What's my Line?" game, although 3rd graders came very close.  Ms. Jackson is the Web producer. correspondent on KMOV News 4 in St. Louis.  Afterwords Ms. Jackson answered questions from first and third graders eager to learn more about her career.  Ms. Jackson was able to briefly visit the museum and was delighted to spend her afternoon taking part in our Museum and speaker program.  Ms. Jackson promised to share with others her experience and special time she shared with Truman students.
