Phyllis Wheatley center, once a Green Book haven for Black students and artists, turns 100

Phyllis Wheatley center, once a Green Book haven for Black students and artists, turns 100

Providing kids the chance to explore the outdoors, listen to the sounds of nature and take a dip in a lake had been a high priority for the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center. It began summer camp programs in 1932. The mission of “the Wheatley,” as many refer to the center, has always been service to the community.
