Rescheduled Virtual Meeting and Written Public Comment

Now is the time to support preserving the foundations of the St. James AME Church.  This rare archaeological site includes the 1875 church’s complete foundation and cornerstone.  Discovered during construction for the San Pedro Creek Culture Park, it provides an opportunity to connect to an important piece of early African American history on the Westside. Learn more.

You are invited to share your thoughts on what should happen with the foundations of St. James AME Church at the final public meeting – Rescheduled for Tues, Feb 23rd: 6:00 – 7:30 PM.

We encourage changing the design of the San Pedro Creek Culture Park between the creek and Camaron Street to preserve the building’s entire footprint.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to preserve a physical link to the local African American community as it evolved after the Civil War.  People may read a plaque, but they experience a place!
