Summary:	Museum chief executive and cultural heritage collector Fredi Brown was born on November 4, 1923, in Bradenton, Florida. Brown was valedictorian of his graduating class at Lincoln High School in 1939. She enrolled at Florida A&M University in East Tallahassee, Florida, and graduated with her B.A. degree in 1944, and an interest in pursuing journalism. She soon met Ernest Brown, whom she married in Detroit, Michigan, in 1946. The Detroit Urban League hired Ernest, and the couple became immersed into the public life of Detroit. When they relocated to Bradenton in 1976, Brown taught at Manatee Community College. Interest from the college administration and community led her to donate collections for the Family Heritage House Museum. This 2,085-square foot facility has housed books, tapes, paintings, prints, heirlooms and photographs. The museum opened in 2000 and is the only museum of its kind on a community college campus.
