Morgan Robinson, New Manager of the Clemson Area African American Museum

Beginning Monday, September 29, Morgan Robinson will be the new manager of the Clemson Area African American Museum. An Atlanta native, Morgan earned degrees in history from Spelman College, Georgetown University, and Pennsylvania State University. Her work as a graduate student and researcher focused on the history of free Black people in the Antebellum and Postbellum South, creating digital exhibits, articles, and other writings on various topics from that period. Morgan is dedicated to uncovering and preserving underrepresented histories and making history accessible to everyone. In her free time, she collects and reads books by Black authors or catches up on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

We’re excited to welcome Morgan Robinson to the City of Clemson!

Sincerely, Daniel's Walk & Talk
