Excellent backgrounder on the proposed Afro-American center including the not small matter of what the center will do and who will pay for it. No one knew back when voters defeated the arena-arts bundle in 2001 — no one knows now.
And good to see the little matter of the current Afro-American center get some pub. If a new one gets built, the old one should be sold off, simple as that. Here’s betting the city keeps it and turns the property, with a tax value of $368,000, over to a slightly different community group.
