The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission approved my nomination of Lee Morgan for a historical marker in December 2022. However, due to supply chain issues, fabrication of the marker was delayed. On the first day of Black History Month 2024, I received notice that Lee’s marker has been shipped.
During the Black History Month celebration at the Johnson House, an Underground Railroad site, I was thrilled to try on the hat that Lee Morgan wore during his photo shoot for “The Sixth Sense” album. The hat and other artifacts are in the possession of his nephew and executor of his estate, Raymond Darryl Cox.
Join the Tioga-Nicetown Library on Friday, February 9, 2024, 1pm to 3pm for a community celebration of Lee Morgan and the Power of Art.
The event is free and open to the public. To RSVP, go here.
