Yes Weekly prints Greensboro Civil Rights & Museum Fake News

"As 2016 reaches its end, the International Civil Rights Center & Museum nears the completion of seven years of successful operations. Having navigated a challenging path, we celebrate this hard-earned institutional performance as a foundation for our future growth and increasing strength...

...we successfully brought to a close nearly $36 million in complex tax credit arrangements that funded the establishment of this inspiring institution at the same time that it supplied a dynamic hub of economic development for Downtown Greensboro. At this point, the financial obligations of the Museum are down to less than $1.3 million, which we can address by normal fund-raising.

Owed mostly to City of Greensboro taxpayers

to pay for the museum to get out of the tax credit deal

This accomplishment was the end-product of steady financial management, with a strategic “eye on the prize” of our future sustainability and impact...

end-product of steady financial management

...The Museum has itself become a recognized destination, serving more than 70,000 visitors each year in the downtown area.

Not lately, is my understanding

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2014/12/yes-weekly-attendance-revenue-down-at.html

...we have continued to help generate commercial activity in Downtown Greensboro.

The difficult breakthrough ...put Piedmont North Carolina on the map in the 1960s as a world center for lessons on the struggle for civil and human rights. Since then, North Carolina prospered economically and culturally under the image of moderate progressivism.

...the imaginative investments made by Sit-In Movement, Inc., have encouraged the revival of Downtown Greensboro..."

– John L. Swaine is the CEO of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Downtown Greensboro.
