The Jack Hadley Black History Museum presents the 3rd Annual Gala — a masquerade fundraiser to save the Historic Imperial Hotel in Thomasville. This virtual event will take place Saturday, February 27, at 7 p.m. 

The Imperial, built in 1949, was listed in the Green Book, a road map that identified Black-owned hotels where Blacks could safely stop and stay while traveling through the South. The Jack Hadley Black History Museum, now owners of the hotel, and in collaboration with the Williams Family Foundation and Thomasville Landmarks, are working to preserve this historical site.

All registered participants will be entered into a drawing to win a one-week free vacation to the resort of their choice. The winner only pays travel and food expenses.

Organizers hope you will participate in the masquerade festivities by wearing your most decorative mask. One special participant with the most creative mask will be selected to receive a $100 Visa gift card at the end of the gala.
