Jones is curator of the African-American Civil War Museum, which reopened in a new space last month. The exhibit, “The Glorious March to Liberty,” spans from the Civil War to civil rights. Tell me about your new space.

We’re now in the annex of the old Grimke school building, which used to be the gymnasium and auditorium. We’re very excited because we can tell the larger story. It’s a space that’s very welcoming. A lot of people come in and get a sense of ownership. They come in and they are very proud of the space they are in.
