"Imagine Africatown" Design Charette is an invitation to join in imagine a healthy and vibrant African American and African diaspora community in the historically African American Central District of Seattle.

Come and add to our collective vision board.  What would you like to have in honor of the African American and global African diaspora experience?  Is it a music venue inspired by the black music legacy from Seattle to Motown to New York to New Orleans?
