Restoration of the Liberty Theatre in the 1990s.
Title
Restoration of the Liberty Theatre in the 1990s.
Description
After decades of decline and eventual closure, the Liberty Theatre in Columbus, Georgia underwent a major restoration project in the 1990s. A subsequent federal grant in 1993 helped fund its restoration. And it reopened in 1996 as the first African-American arts institution and musical playhouse in Columbus.
