May Community Meeting

May is National Historic Preservation Month and the Central District has a number of African American sites vanished and still here. We welcome Stephanie Johnson-Toliver, who will speak about the significance that historic sites play to the character of our CD community. She will also speak about historic geographic boundaries as well.

Stephanie Johnson-Toliver is a fourth generation Seattleite, and President at the Black Heritage Society of Washington State where she advocates for the awareness of historically significant sites. She leads a dedicated Board of Directors who are committed to uphold the Society’s mission as stewards of the largest legacy collection of regional African American memorabilia. Beyond BHS and aligned in a like-minded purpose, Stephanie co-leads at the Historic Central Area Arts & Cultural District and is a board member at the Museum of History & Industry and Office of the Secretary of State-Legacy Washington.
