SIGN UP A statement on the museum's website said after multiple public hearings, most residents supported the leasing resolution as long as SCC programs remained nearby.
According to the statement, community programs at the SCC, located at 959 E Rosedale Street, will continue at their current location until museum construction begins. They will then transition to the Hazel Harvey Center for Neighborhoods Center, which is located one mile north of its current location.
"The National Juneteenth Museum promises to be an enduring symbol of African American heritage and a hub of opportunity for local entrepreneurs and residents," the statement read. "As the museum continues its development, it will stand as a testament to Fort Worth’s commitment to honoring the past, celebrating the present, and fostering a brighter future for all.
