Box Lunch Talk: The Impact of the HOPE Partnership in Westminster – Lynn Wheeler interviews Bernie Jones

In 1969, HSCC board member, Bernie Jones became a charter member and served on the board of the nonprofit Home Ownership Purchase Effort (HOPE), to provide home ownership opportunities for low-income Black families.  HOPE purchased houses on Union Street, rehabbed them, and sold them at cost. Their groundbreaking work laid the foundation for Civil Rights success in Carroll County.

As always, there is no registration for Box Lunch Talks. You bring your lunch, and we provide the drinks and desserts (thanks to our volunteers and staff). The cost is $3 for HSCC members and $7 for nonmembers.
