President's Message


Dear Friends,

It is a privilege to have been the President of the John W. Jones Museum Board of Trustees since 1997. A vision of the museum, in honor of the legacy of John W. Jones, is to strive for the inclusion of justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being. This vision fires our desire for action and encourages us to share the story of John W. Jones. To help others regain their dignity as a people is to understand and to acknowledge cultural similarities and differences.

I thank the wonderful people locally and nationally that have supported this non-profit organization financially and in-kind, that includes the guidance of the hard working trustees.

So we ask for your continued support and blessing as we move forward to the opening of the museum.

Thank you,

Lucy Brown

President of the Board of Trustees
