The Richard Kemp Center will host the Diaspora Series, the Black Legacy Wall, the 1619 Traveling Exhibit and a Wellness Drop-in Spot. We are excited to invite the Community to join in with us and our friends at Juniper Creative as we build a MURAL on the east (Hyde Street) wall of the Richard Kemp Center.
