It will forever be one of my greatest honors to have worked alongside Athena F. Richardson to support Jawana Jackson's vision for her family home by developing a strategy based on her goals and identifying the ideal caretaker of the Jackson Home. The Jackson Home has gone from Selma, Alabama to The Henry Ford. It has moved to exactly where it should be to support future generations of socially conscience community members.
