Winners of the Living the Dream Award

The Greenbrier Historical Society recently nominated Pamela Barry and Neely Seams for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Living the Dream Award, and they won! 

The Martin Luther King, Jr. State Holiday Commission presented Pamela Barry and Neely Seams the 2018 “Living the Dream Award” in the area of “Sharing of Self—Selfless Leadership in the Public and Private Sector.” Together they wrote and performed a monologue about the life of Medal of Freedom winner and White Sulphur Springs native, Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson, during the 2017 Greenbrier Historical Society Homes Tour Weekend.  In doing so, they rendered an invaluable service to others in the public sector through education and inspiration.  

Because of its potential impact on students, the monologue will be presented to all the high school students in Greenbrier, Monroe, and Pocahontas Counties in March, 2018.
