Dr. Margaret T. Burroughs Gallery at South Shore Cultural Center
February 23rd, 2010 by ShortyToday the Dr. Margaret T. Burroughs Gallery was revealed to the world. Located inside the South Shore Cultural Center, Dr. Burroughs’ artwork dating back to the 1950s as well as some of her many accomplishments and accolades (you should see the wall!) are some of the treasures found at the gallery.
I won’t go into her accomplishments because there are many of them. However, I would like to share a few reasons why I adore this phenomenal woman.
Dr. Burroughs is 92 years old and still teaches art classes at the prison, goes bowling and roller skates. Yes, roller skate! She is officially my favorite role model on this side of heaven (next to my mother, of course).
