Ruby Alford and Gene Krynicki agree that African-themed items should be displayed in Morrow to educate people on African-American history.
Alford is the branch manager of the Clayton County Public Library System's Morrow branch, and Krynicki is the owner of the Antique Emporium, a shop that is literally around the corner from the library, which is located at 6225 Maddox Road.
