I love living uptown but there’s something so special about Glenview. 💚 Maybe it’s the culture or the gorgeous park. It’s probably the talent or the beautiful homes. Nah…it’s the people, it’s most definitely the people.

Learn more about the rich history of this historically black neighborhood at the Glenview Community Roots Festival!

This trip to Egypt with Lemoyne-Owen College was phenomenal and otherworldly.. Ancient Egypt is also known as Kemet which means, “The Black Land.”
