Nominated by music superstar and Tuskegee, Ala. native Lionel Richie, Hello Park will become the first public park of its kind available to residents in the community. Located directly across from the campus of Tuskegee University, this undeveloped land will be turned into a beautiful outdoor space for members of the community to gather, to personally connect with nature and to embrace the history of Tuskegee for decades to come.

A town’s human and civil rights and multicultural center seeks to address long deferred and necessary repairs as well as enhance areas around special exhibits. The improvements will ensure it continues to preserve, promote, and make the town’s history readily to current and future generations of residents and college students — and to use that history as an inspiration to those exposed to it.
