New Online County Map Commemorates African American Historic Sites

Councilmember George Leventhal and the Planning Board recently debuted an online map of County-designated African American Historic Sites. The map shows historic sites, parks, trails and buildings that commemorate African American heritage.

The planning staff mapped two dozen historic African American sites in the first phase of this project. The locations included are not an exhaustive compilation of all significant African American sites in the County. More locations will be added after community feedback is received and additional sites are identified and evaluated.
