Please don’t fall on your sword over details. You have made this project happen & your involvement is very important to me and others. I don’t like committees, either. For the sake of the so-important history, I hope you will hang in there.

Thanks very much and my great compliments on your tenacity (often a rare quality) –

As this story unfolds and as you will see that there’s a need for better Ethnic History-Keeping—history of the Golden West Historic Display. This story will conclude with why Central City Concern/Control became aware that there was a grant to be had, and why Golden West Project reluctantly brought the proposal to them. Bear with me….

When I began the Golden West Project in Feb. 2006 I was then contacted my City Planning they were excited that I was concerning myself with matters of Old Town’s African-American History, For no one else was or had been in quite awhile. I knew I was on the right track. SEE ATTACH…..

Please note I was being put off my CCC with promising that they were going to be doing something very, very, very soon. 2 1/2 years I was being told this in their typical type of jargon ( have all the emails to this effect). The display itself being in neglect for nearly 18 years. I blame both CCC & the African-American Community for this.
Stay Tuned….
peace

Central City Concern, a.k.a Central City Control =
I no longer wish for me, my name, nor Golden West Project to be associated with the Golden West Historic Display Advisory Committee. I still do support the project but I must do it in my own ways & my own methods….
If there’s need for more of the whys and the how comes let me know….
I don’t like Committees & at times don’t like to even hear the word Committees
