Nucor Corp. pledges $2.5 million to IAAM
Nucor Corp., a steel company with a facility in Berkeley County, has pledged $2.5 million to the International African American Museum, slated to break ground later this year.
Half of Nucor’s donation will be cash and the other $1.25 million will be a donation of steel for museum construction, said Michael Boulware Moore, the museum president and CEO.
“There are a few times in the life of an organization where you can look back in hindsight and look to specific moments that really help to propel an organization forward toward completing their goals or achieving great things,” Moore said at a news conference Friday. “I think today, there’s no question, will be one of those days.”
