Fortuitous. That's how wealth advisor Clinton Byrd described his introduction to Terri Lipsey Scott, executive director of the Woodson African American Museum of Florida.
Byrd and his family happen to own a multi-million-dollar, 8,000-piece collection of African-American artifacts based in Tallahassee. Among the treasures are letters from Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver and Frederick Douglass, autographed recordings of Marian Anderson and books by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, for whom the St. Petersburg museum is named.
