The Sammy Younge Jr. Park Project

A Classroom Without Walls: 

​

Do you remember the urgency of the 1960s?

The feeling that change was on the horizon, but it required the courage of the youth to seize it? Today, we are asking you to help us kindle that same spirit in a new generation. We are seeking $5,000 to restore and enhance Sammy Younge Jr. Park, a site dedicated to the Tuskegee Institute student who gave his life for civil rights. This project is about more than landscaping; it is about education. We aim to create a space where history is tangible—a place for community teach-ins, historical tours, and reflection. By supporting this fund, you are building a bridge between the heroes of the past and the leaders of tomorrow. Let’s make sure Sammy’s name continues to speak to the future of Tuskegee.
