About BLACK TOWNS REVIVAL WEEKEND
Black Towns Municipal Management and Church Building and Loan Fund have partnered with industry leaders and community change-makers to rebuild Black Townships, specifically Tullahassee, OK.
Through this weekend, we want to create a blueprint to assist the remaining U.S. Black Townships in community redevelopment, leveraging continuing investment and development and resulting in the sustainable transformation of a township through partnerships between faith-based institutions, developers, planners, and other stakeholders.
Additional partners and sponsors include Bois & Peters LLC and Congressional Black Caucus for New Urbanism.
