The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA), founded in 1997 by Afeni Shakur, mother of the multi-talented hip-hop rap icon Tupac Shakur (2Pac), is excited for this week’s arrival of Felton Eaddy’s “I Love Africa Traveling Museum,” in celebration of 2006’s Black History Month. The highly-acclaimed collection will be featured at the Center from Wednesday, February 22 through Friday, February 24 and will be open from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily. Admission to the Traveling Museum is free. Mr. Eaddy’s time-honored and much-loved “I Love Africa Traveling Museum” is culled from a permanent 125-piece art collection.
