Description:
The Mitchell/Moore Community Center and Park is named in honor of Tony Mitchell and Cheatham Moore, two leaders in the African-American community. Tony Mitchell, a civic activist and humanitarian, helped the less fortunate educate their children and his personal assistance helped many obtain private business loans. Cheatham Moore, a civic activist, was the first African-American appointed to the City’s Housing Authority. He also organized a voter registration drive establishing the first precinct in the Northwest community. Both leaders petitioned the City for recreational facilities, resulting in the creation of Westside Park, which today is known as Mitchell/Moore Park and Community Center.
