A RICH CULTURE THAT'S SHAPING OUR FUTURE
The Urban Family Development Center in the North City District draws inspiration from historic landmarks like Africatown in the Plateau community and Davis Avenue in Mobile, AL, each embodying the resilience and cultural pride of African American history. Africatown, founded by the survivors of the last known transatlantic slave ship, the Clotilda, is a testament to self-sufficiency and cultural preservation. This legacy deeply informs the center’s mission to honor the history and heritage of the African American community. Through events such as cultural festivals, historical tours, and storytelling workshops, the center connects its community to pivotal narratives like those of Africatown and Davis Avenue, celebrating their enduring significance.
In the same vein as Africatown and neighboring Prichard, AL, the Urban Family Development Center emphasizes economic empowerment and cultural revitalization. It offers entrepreneurial training, workforce development, and educational initiatives that reflect the resilience and innovation seen in these historic communities. Collaborating with local organizations and leaders, the center ensures that the rich cultural fabric of the North City District remains a source of pride and progress. By bridging the legacy of Africatown and the thriving spirit of Davis Avenue with the aspirations of today, the center creates a space where history, culture, and development converge for the betterment of all.
