Description

The Statesville African American Heritage Preservation Commission was established to support the preservation, recognition, and celebration of African American history and culture within the City of Statesville and its Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction. The commission provides guidance and community input on initiatives that highlight and protect historically significant sites, stories, and cultural resources.

Mission Statement: The purpose of the Statesville African American Heritage Preservation Commission is to preserve, protect, and promote the history, arts, and culture of African Americans in Statesville North Carolina.

The commission meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 6pm in the second floor conference room at City Hall. Since the committee is not currently reflected in the City’s zoning ordinance, formal term lengths for members have not been established.
