Dr. Carol Adams, President & CEO of DuSable Museum
I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Carol Adams, President & CEO of DuSable Museum of African American History. It is usually the interviewer’s role to make the interviewee comfortable and ready for the interview. Can I just say that Dr. Adams calmed my nerves for this interview? First of all, I was excited she said yes. And secondly, I was concerned about a couple of my questions, but she helped smoothed that over, too.
Anyway, listen to my interview with Dr. Carol Adams to learn about the history of DuSable, Dr. Margaret Burrough’s legacy and their community engagement. Check out DuSable Museum’s website at www.dusablemuseum.org, like their Facebook Page, and follow them on Twitter. Be sure to become a member to help support the continued growth of the museum.
