In 2014, William R. Harvey, an alumnus of Talledega College, and his family, donated $1.3 million to Talladega College which established an art museum in Harvey's name.[1][2][3] Groundbreaking for the museum took place in November 2017.[1] The State of Alabama, led by governor Kay Ivey, donated $1.5 million to the construction efforts.[1]
The Dr. William R. Harvey Museum of Art opened on February 3, 2020. The ribbon cutting included Harvey and Talladega College president Billy C. Hawkins.[2]
The museum's permanent collection includes the Amistad Mutiny murals by Hale Woodruff.[4]
