Come together with neighbors, cultural stewards, and design thinkers for a panel discussion to explore how historic district recognition can reflect who we are, protect what we’ve built, and shape a future that honors our roots. From the Civil Rights and Black Power movements to our legendary creative corridors and proud tradition of Black-owned businesses, it’s time to learn how historic district status can help us protect this legacy, pass it on to future generations, and bring the support and resources our thriving community deserves. Come out to hear from your neighbors about why this matters for us, learn how historic district status can benefit YOU and your family, and connect with experts and other communities like ours. Find out how to get involved and help shape Sharswood’s future. Let’s protect and celebrate Sharswood — by us, for us, for generations to come.
