The Woodson continues to highlight this city's rich history and culture with our Sixth in Series: At The Feet of the Elders.
About this Event

This month's distinguished elders are Mr. Rufus M. Lewis, Mr. Thomas Manual Jr., and Mr. Louis B. Williams!
These three men, all of whom attended Jordan Park Elementary, have exciting stories to share and a lifelong passion for sports and giving back to their community. With Mr. Manuel Jr. and Mr. Williams both being veterans who served during the Vietnam War era, and Mr. Lewis being a renowned golfer and member of the National Black Golf Hall of Fame, you won’t want to miss the chance to learn about the remarkable lives they’ve led and their incredible achievements.
