Show Notes
The Center for Black Excellence and Culture on Madisons south side is set to open this spring, marking a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Wisconsin. Founded by Reverend Doctor Alexander Gee Junior, the facility aims to redefine the narrative around Black history, highlighting resilience and achievements. The center also emphasizes the connection between cultural spaces and health outcomes, addressing disparities caused by chronic stress in predominantly white environments. With construction complete and funds secured, focus now shifts to developing programs and hiring staff. Community members will play a crucial role in shaping the centers offerings, which will include plays, lectures, seminars, book events, and film screenings on Black culture. Despite funding for the building, the center is still raising money for internal activities and encourages everyone to appreciate their own family traditions.
