Reception for Albert "Peter" Datcher

KAC Board Member Albert “Peter” Datcher was honored by KAC and the Shelby County Historical Society at a reception on November 6 at the Wallace House that was attended by over 100 persons. The Shelby County Archives named their new Albert Baker Datcher Enslaved People’s Database for him in recognition of his contributions to local Black history. Visitors had the opportunity to the Wallace House and grounds, including Mr. Datcher’s history panels showing Wallace families associated with the House and artist Tony M. Bingham’s exhibit Vessels for Aunt Daisy and his recently dedicated sculpture Bearing Witness: Praise House - Sun Shadows.
