Last Saturday, I joined North Philly Peace Park staff, volunteers, and Sharswood community members generations of Black people, from infants to elders for the groundbreaking of the Sala Keturah STEM Pavilion.
The project a stunning fusion of Afrofuturist aesthetic and sustainable design will serve as the centerpiece of an ecocampus that will span a full block of the Sharswood neighborhood. The pavilion is part of a larger project to model Black self-determination through agriculture, design, education, wellness, and cooperative economics.
