About the Event
The Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor was once a vibrant neighborhood. While it's still a multiracial community with rich black history, it’s been largely disenfranchised and neglected. This presentation describes a best practice model to build up underserved communities through collaborative funding and community engagement that promotes historic tourism.
