William Wynn, owner of Rolley - A private showroom featuring high end clothing coming to downtown this spring and Neesy Green, Ambassador of People-Tourism are bringing a modern black history experience to the Canes Fanfest in hopes of engaging the entire community.

From 11-9 Friday, February 17th, the doors at 206 and 208 Fayetteville Street will be open for a free exhibit featuring 2020 protest art curated in the awakening of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Wynn and Green want to offer multiple reasons to attend Fanfest as hockey is not highly attended by black people. Launching the exhibit during Fanfest is to encourage everyone to come downtown for the festivities.

Green, who works with The Original Selfie Museum, located in the basement of Fayetteville Street hopes to bring awareness to the hidden gem.

They offer 35 backdrops in a 5000 square foot studio and recently launched custom fundraising and advertising packages.

The evening will feature DJ Grant from 6-9pm and anyone who stops in with a sip n stroll cup in hand will be entered into a raffle.
