For over 35 years, Bernard Kinsey and his wife Shirley have amassed a collection of art and history that documents the African American experience from 1595 to the Civil Rights era. As part of Destination Graduation’s sharing of best practices, and to celebrate African American History Month, the Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) and Modesto City Schools have invited Bernard Kinsey to discuss “The Kinsey Collection” at the Gallo Center for the Arts on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and $5 and are available at Galloarts.org or may be purchased at the box office at 1000 I St., Modesto. The Kinsey Collection contains authentic artifacts, documents, books, letters, manuscripts, photographs and art, telling the story of struggle, achievement and contributions of African Americans.
