Terry Shavers, who is among those who led the effort to get the museum established, said the support from the community made the museum possible. Vincent Shivers, a historian for more than 30 years, said the museum showcases not only the history of Braceville, but of America as a whole. This museum lets you learn the history of this area and is a testament to the people of Braceville,” Shivers said. The museum was supported by the Braceville Community Foundation and showcases Braceville African-Americans and what they achieved in different fields. There is one room dedicated to sports that includes boxer Earnie Shavers and baseball player Ted Toles
