History graduate helps local museum secure grant

August 3, 2017

Former undergraduate and graduate history student Shannon Browning- Mullis successfully led the effort to secure a $250,000 NEH grant for reinterpretation of the Owens-Thomas house museum in Savannah. Already things have greatly changed in the interpretation presented there since she arrived, and now it will be able to dramatically shift the physical environment of visitors to the slave quarters, kitchen, etc.
