Grant Description

To provide climate controlled space and appropriate storage and display of the photos, documents, and belongings of Senghor, the first President of Senegal. The items are deteriorating due to lack of proper storage and exposure to Senegal's coastal, humid, natural elements. The exhibit hall will be renovated and enlarged for the celebration of the centennial of Senghor's brith in 2006.
