Charleston’s African American Museum gets high-tech boost from South Carolina firm
The International African American Museum in Charleston is getting a six-figure boost from a worldwide technology company based in the South Carolina Upstate.
ScanSource, which started in Greenville in 1992 and has grown to nearly 3,000 employees in 45 offices around the world, not only donated $250,000 but is offering its services for free to set up the museum’s network for interactive exhibits, communications, ticketing, retail sales and security.
Beyond that, the company is passing the word to some 300 other Silicon Valley companies it does business with, which could help bring in the final $1 million needed to start construction fairly quickly.
