Facilitate activities and services that will focus on preserving green space with a mission of fostering the development and creation of an American heritage park site, including historical Native American, African American, and Jewish American social, cultural, and economic institutions within the Cannonborough neighborhood and surrounding blocks.
Focus will be on institutions and individuals who were key to the development of this area and who worked for social change and civil rights within the broader context of Charleston and SC.
The converted praise church will be a new community center within DeReef Park housing displays and documentation for residents and tourists to observe.

I like the idea of promoting areas of the city that are not as visible to tourists but have there own unique history.
