The Augusta Museum of History welcomes Dr. Deanna Brown Thomas as the guest speaker on Wednesday, May 13 at 12:30pm to share the story of her father, Mr. James Brown. Everyone knows the Godfather of Soul but during this special Brown Bag Lecture Deanna will share a side of her dad that the camera's out in Hollywood never captured. This is the perfect month to hear this story with Mr. Brown's birthday on May 3rd, this year he would have been 93 years old.
