A historic building in Buffalo’s African American Heritage Corridor, is getting a new life.
The structure at 509 Michigan Ave., next to the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, will be renovated and then doubled to become the home of Vision Multi Media Group, owner of WUFO and Power 95, Even though it is in rough shape, it’s a period building during a period when perhaps even Harriet Tubman walked through this area with the Underground Railroad or maybe even W.E.B. DuBois was around when NAACP was founded, in this exact same area, said state Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes. And so the importance of keeping that building livable into the future, to me, is critical.
