Beck Cultural Exchange Center, Inc.
After the death of Mrs. Beck in 1975, the trustees of her estate generously gave $20,000 for the purchase of the Beck House to be used as the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, Inc. The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is a place that highlights historical, artistic, and other cultural achievements of African Americans in east Tennessee from the early 1800’s to the present. Since it was first opened over half a million visitors have toured the center.
The cultural center has meeting space used for private and public events. This non profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization conducts educational outreach both at the center, local schools, and at local events. The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is within walking distance of Morningside Park and Alex Haley Square . If you want to have a fun learning experience for yourself an younger generations, I would highly recommend visiting the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, Inc.
