This plaque will serve as a remembrance of the once striving Black Business District called Mink Slide, which was located on the corners of South Maple and Vine streets. The Mink Slide was a special place where families, friends, and neighbors came to support African American businesses and celebrate their rich heritage and culture. Please join AAHRSC on Sunday, October 27 at 2:00 pm for this special unveiling. “The African American Heritage Society is committed to leaving footprints of its rich history for present and future generations” as quoted by Mary Watkins, AAHRSC President Emeritus. 

 

Since its founding in 2014, the African American Heritage Society of Rutherford County continues to be committed to discovering, preserving, teaching, and sharing the heritage and history of African Americans. Watkins stated...

Main Street Murfreesboro is a proud partner and sponsor of the historical plaque and invites everyone to attend the unveiling event at 2:00 o'clock this Sunday afternoon (10/27/2024).
