Boston to Hold Hearing Over Uncertain Future of Jackson-Mann Community Center
Hopeful speeches, thankful prayers, and inspirational gospel and spiritual songs were all a part of the celebration last night of the "grand opening and dedication" of the new headquarters of the Harvard-Radcliffe Afro-American Cultural Center.
Michael Hoton '76, president of the center, said he hoped the new 1750 Cambridge St. location would be more accessible to students than the center's previous Sacramento Street location.
Renaissance
Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, said he hopes the center "can be part of a new renaissance" that will encourage students to participate in both "artistic and intellectual forms" of the Afro American experience.
Rev. Peter J. Gomes, preacher to the University, blessed the new building saying it is a "symbol and sign of where we have been and where we have to go."
