Over the past year, members of the Coalition for the Responsible and Sustainable Development on the Near East Side, Partners Achieving Community Transformation [PACE], and interested stakeholders have continued the conversation around honoring the historical significance of Poindexter Village. Together we have formed the James P. Preston Poindexter Legacy Committee and are committed to exploring options around creating a museum-quality exhibition and historical archives.

At this meeting, guests will have the opportunity to learn about the following:

• Poindexter Legacy Project developments, including the new building proposal to CMHA, developing partnerships, and a new foundation to support the Poindexter Legacy Project

• Meet with local historians and OSU history students who will collect and archive Poindexter Village stories and materials

• Add input on the process and outcomes

Individuals are encouraged to bring photos, diaries, newspaper clippings, documents, etc. OSU history students will have scanners, digital cameras and audio equipment to record oral stories.

This event is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
