Mary Wilson made an appearance in Philadelphia today for the official announcement of the upcoming African American Museum of Philadelphia exhibit scheduled to begin January 25, 2013. There will be over 30 dresses on exhibit as well as video footage, gold records, album covers, historic photographs, and news stories. One significant gown is the one she wore on the Ed Sullivan Show.
This was not announced until today in Philadelphia although the Detroit news media reported several months ago that the exhibit was going to go to Philadelphia next.
This should be a very worthwhile exhibit to see and hopefully it will very accessible via public transportation, i. e. Amtrak, from major northeast cities along the Northeast Corridor. Further information can obtained through the museum website www.aampmuseum.org.
