1. The first meeting of PROJECT KUUMBA: Fellowship of African American Cultural Center Organizers at Reformation Church Chicago (PK), will occur Sunday, September 24, 2017, 2 PM, in the Church's Young Obama Fellowship Hall, 11310 S. Forest Avenue in the Roseland/Pullman Neighborhoods on the City's Far South Side.
2. The meeting's main purpose is to join with Reformation's Pulpit Ministry in celebrating BLACKSONIAN SUNDAY, the 1st Anniversary of the Smithsonian Institutes' National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).
3. A secondary meeting purpose is to briefly discuss the vision of building, maintaining, and developing the African American Cultural Center at Reformation. We see Reformation's Cultural Center project as both the spiritual basis and practical material basis for the preservationist ministry of restoring and rebuilding the physical sanctuary and adjacent brick and mortar building of Reformation Church Chicago-now in its 129th year of service in the Roseland/Pullman community.
4. Please join us in celebrating BLACKSONIAN SUNDAY at Reformation as well as discussing our vision of the African American Cultural Center serving as a spiritual and material basis for rebuilding and restoring Reformation Church both as a brick and mortar house of worship and as a continued cultural anchor and hub serving the City's Far South Side Community.
Respectfully submitted: Rev. Joel Washington (Khunanpu Sangoma), Pastor of Reformation Church Chicago ("Young Mr. Obama's community organizing sanctuary"), & Convener
of the African American Cultural Center Ministry at Reformation, 9-16-17
