Architect John Wicker helped design and build many of Greensboro’s most memorable structures, from Friendly Shopping Center to Page High School. He also had a lifelong interest in history, and the endowment in his name has supported nearly 20 free public programs at the museum, including talks by distinguished scholars and writers including Malinda Maynor Lowery, John Shelton Reed, Lynn Dumenil, Charles Reagan Wilson, and Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson.
