Preservation Action Plan - Progress Update


The Graduate Hospital neighborhood is home to many unrecognized and recognized African American cultural and institutional legacies through the 19th century. In the last few decades, our neighborhood has seen a displacement of intergenerational Black families influenced by a number of political decisions, policies and systemic issues. Along with the displacement of the families and the demolition of their homes and institutions, we lose their stories, influence and culture that built the neighborhood we see today.


South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA) aims to preserve the historic resources that provide meaning to the neighborhood through policies, storytelling and support programs. Our Preservation Action Plan outlines some ways that we can start these conversations with our neighbors about the past, present and future.


You can watch a recording of our March 2021 General Meeting where we introduced our Preservation Action Plan.
