WE WANT YOUR INPUT!​

A community input tour to help select between two concepts to honor the Tubman-Chavez Community Center is planned from January 14 through February 4. During tour stops, community members are invited to share their thoughts on a planned new display that will spotlight the rich history of Tubman-Chavez.

“Tubman Chavez Stories: A Community Cultural Display,” will honor the legacy and tell the stories of the community center which opened in 1995 and served the Southeastern San Diego community as a unifying gathering place. The selected exhibit will be housed inside the main lobby corridor of the County of San Diego’s new Southeastern Live Well Center.
