Did you know we’re using the grounds at the historic Butler House for a community garden project in partnership with Abilene Building Community - ABC?

We took a tour of the garden after our monthly member meeting tonight, and we’re so excited to see it grow. 🥬🧅🫑🌽

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. It is a day to honor those who endured, those who persevered, and those whose stories deserve to be remembered.

As we reflect on our shared history, we invite the community to join ICAN tomorrow for the unveiling of a historical marker honoring Grover C. Everett, a Black man who was murdered in Abilene in 1922. For decades, his story remained largely untold. Through the efforts of community members, historians, and local leaders, Everett's life and tragic death have become part of an important conversation about truth, remembrance, and reconciliation in our city.

Historical markers do more than commemorate the past, they help ensure that future generations understand it. On this Juneteenth, we honor freedom by telling the full story of our community.

Abilene families are currently facing childcare waitlists of up to two years. As ICAN revitalizes the historic Carter G. Woodson School property, we are working to dedicate part of the estate to accessible childcare services for the Abilene community.
