The International African American Museum in Charleston furloughed its entire staff. This action stems from financial pressure and a changing funding environment. All employees will take staggered 20-day unpaid leaves between July and December. The museum aims to reduce expenses and avoid permanent layoffs. It plans to remain fully operational during this period.
