why we're doing it
The Griggs College of Business and Practical Arts was founded in 1916. One of three black-owned colleges in the community, it served as an important educational resource in Memphis for many years. Its graduates include Kathryn Bowers, who went on to serve in the Tennessee House of Representatives. The building on Vance Avenue has been abandoned since the 1980s. It has recently been purchased and will soon be remodeled and re-purposed. Before that happens, we want to celebrate the past with the community. This garden party will give the neighborhood an opportunity to lift up the legacy of the college and think about he future of the site and the neighborhood.
