African American and Native American visions of the future of Lincoln Park and Citico Town will be publicly addressed by members of the coalition to save the two areas from development Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. at Lincoln Park. The park is on the north end of Central Avenue.
'Save Lincoln Park' and 'Save Citico Town & Mound' activists will make brief statements about the current status of the park, road proposal and mound site. They will also release their written resolution, "Historical Significance and Preservation of the Citico-Lincoln Park Site", at this outdoor gathering.
Lincoln Park, a formerly African American park, is now owned by Erlanger Hospital. It was also a major Muscogee (Native American) town in the 11th through 16th centuries.
The public is invited to attend.
