HardinMuseum Brownwood TX R.F. Hardin Museum Inc. is hosting its 15th Annual Celebrate the Legend Banquet on Saturday, June 15th at 6:00 p.m. at the Adam Street Community Center.

The theme for the semi-formal event is “Hardin Speaks,” which is the essence of the ongoing quest of organizers to preserve and honor the institution that was the cornerstone of education for the Brownwood African-American community for more than 68 years.

This year, local business owner Adelia Houston Kirk will be the recipient of the Willie Lee Gay Legends Award.  Kirk has worked tirelessly within the Hardin Museum organization and the community.

The R.F. Hardin School is currently undergoing restoration and will house both an African American museum and serve as a multi-use facility with programs to benefit the youth and the community at large.

Tickets to the banquet are $25 each.  For tickets or more information about the event, contact Charles Lowe at 325-998-0773 or by email at celowe1@msn.com.
