For those looking to combine family fun with a slice of history, the Marietta History Center is hosting its monthly Pop-In event with a focus on Black inventors. Taking place on Saturday, February 21, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, this day is dedicated to celebrating African American innovators who have shaped how we live our daily lives, as mentioned the city's website.
As reported by the official announcement, attendees will have the opportunity to dive into a series of activities and crafts that not only stimulate the mind but also pay homage to creativity and innovation that often goes unsung. Understanding the intricacy of everyday items, children and parents together, can engage in crafts that give insight into the technological leaps bounded by African American minds.
Located at the Marietta History Center, 1 Depot Street, Marietta, GA, the Black Inventors Pop-In promises excitement for the whole family. Thanks to Cauthorn, Owen, and Sanders, who have generously sponsored the event, admission is entirely free. Local partners including the Cobb Library Georgia Room and Window Nation will also be part of the day's happenings with their own contributions from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, fostering a sense of neighborhood and knowledge sharing.
