In honor of Juneteenth, the Mesa Historical Museum presents:The Matriarchs of Washington Park: The Women who Persevered through Racism and Segregation
Guest Lecturer: Bruce Nelson
Celebrate the African American women who demonstrated courageous efforts of community activism, artistry, and kinship in the face of racism and misogyny.
Washington Park, aka North Town, is a one square mile radius community, located just north of downtown Mesa, Arizona; it is the once-segregated neighborhood of Mesa. Today it is recognized by the city as the Washington-Escobedo Heritage Neighborhood. The matriarchs of the neighborhood have demonstrated great resiliency in the community.
**Will now be held indoors due to the extreme heat**
