Candice McKnight, founder of the African-American Historical and Genealogical Society and curator of the African American museum in the Westside Community Center, browses through books on one of the packed shelves during a tour on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2019. The museum is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year. “Ten years ago, we just wanted a place for our organization,” McKnight said. “Then I decided that it could go bigger and better than just a place for our organization. This could be the first black museum in Colorado Springs.”(Parker Seibold/The Gazette)
