Achieving Community Together. A Dream Burned Down!
Hi I am Lenora J. Henry Burnett
Williams
Our building, The Historic
Richland Piano Co,
was burned down due to riot/arson during the GeorgeFloyd protest in
Downtown Kalamazoo, MI. We
were renovating when
this devastation occurred.
Our building is a total
loss. We have to tear it down and
need $35,000 for the demolition.
We have 3 weeks to
accomplish this fate. There was no
insurance. Our hearts are broken.
This building was to become a
place where people could come
together from all walks of life. It
didn't matter about race.
Below was the vision for the
building.
Overflow homeless Shelter
assistance
Daycare to assist the homeless
Laundry facility and pantry
Prison reentry program
Consignment Shop/Thrift store
Incubator: Small businesses,
Classrooms/conference rooms
Juice /Smoothie bar,
Urban Gardening: Exercise room
Computer room
I have given back to our community by serving on several boards and
being involved with Non- Profits in
the Kalamazoo County through out my life.
