Today was a long time coming! I was thrilled to attend the Poindexter Village African American Museum groundbreaking today. As a founding member of the James Preston Poindexter Foundation, this idea was dreamed up over a decade ago in a church basement. There have been many twists and turns, but the journey was fruitful and got us to this day. I am so thankful to the Ohio History Connection for their leadership on this project and can’t wait for the ribbon cutting ceremony in 2028. More details on this project in the comments.
