June is African American Music Appreciation Month.  To kick off our month of activities and events, the Tubman Museum, Visit Macon and the Otis Redding Foundation invite you to a reception and dance party to celebrate the re-installation of the exhibition The King of Soul: Otis Redding in Photographs.

Otis Redding is known far and wide as the King of Soul.  But beyond his success as a singer he worked hard to develop the talents of other artists, was a dedicated family man, and a leader in the musical community.  The boundless energy of his stage performances created a larger than life image of the artist.  These photographs provide a glimpse of Redding’s true multi-faceted personality.  Though his life was ct short, he left an enduring legacy which lives on in his music, and through the work of the Otis Redding Foundation.
