Mell and Willie Pruitt at Ribbon Cutting And speaking of the power of a dream, Mell and Willie Pruitt know how to make a dream a reality. The couple started 7 years ago with nothing but a vision and stuck with it through adversity, rejection, and even illness to raise the funds needed and construct a museum to showcase the African American culture and it's contributions to our country and our< communities. At the recent dedication, Mell said "this is a place for all to learn and enjoy." The museum recently opened its doors debt free thanks to the hard work of Mell and Willie Pruitt and many others who supported this effort. LifeintheBrazos.com salutes you Mell and Willie!
