In 2021, SOSNA began working with Preservation Alliance to research and propose a Historic Designation over sections of Christian Street, a street that holds a rich history in this city.  In 2022, City Council unanimously approved this Historic Designation, named Black Doctor's Row.  You can read more about that effort here.
