Kentucky Chautauqua Performance
Sunday, February 21st at 2 PM, 2010

Anna Mac Clarke (1919-1944) didn't put up with second class treatment from anybody, including the U. S. Army. By insisting on fair treatment, and becoming the first black Women's Army Corps officer to command a white unit, young Lt. Clarke struck a powerful blow for racial equality in the military.

This event is free and open to the public.

Martin Foundation Awards 30 Community Grants including a $31,148 grant to the Duncan Center Museum and Art Gallery. The Duncan house is one of the most splendid buildings in Muhlenberg County, designed by Joesph & Joesph Architects of Louisville in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Duncan House has rich architectural and historical significance and serves as the cultural Center of Muhlenberg County. The Duncan Center was a very special gift from Hamilton Richardson Duncan Sr., to the City of Greenville in 1986. Hamilton is the grandson of William Graham Duncan, Muhlenberg Coal Barron and builder of the house in 1912. The Duncan House became Muhlenberg County’s first historical museum and art gallery when it officially opened in 1989.

The Duncan Center houses an enormous history collection and hosts an array of art exhibits and events throughout the year with a purpose of preserving the art, history and culture of Muhlenberg County and Kentucky.
