Thanks so much to Melodie Graves of the North Heights Advisory Association for chatting with High Plains Morning about the unveiling celebration happening today in Amarillo. Unveiling of what? Well, the group has been working with the City of Amarillo for a year to secure historic street markers for Amarillo’s North Heights neighborhood, designating the community as an important piece of the town’s past, present, and future. Everyone is invited to join the celebration today—Wednesday, July 22—at the Black Cultural Center (901 N. Hayden, Amarillo) at 11am CT. The unveiling starts at 11:30a, and the party wraps up at 1p. Refreshments will be served. Hear our full interview on the link below:
Hot tip: There’s a new organization in the works called the North Amarillo Network, and it joins North Heights with San Jacinto, Mesa Verde, and Hamlet. The main push will be to get these communities united, engaged, and registered to vote. Interested in helping out? Call Melodie at 806.640.8184.
