In 1973 Garfield Park residents Don Janderonoa and Katie Cuncannan joined together members of the Burton Heights Ministerial Alliance, area business leaders, and concerned neighbors to form the Garfield Park Neighborhood Association.

This association helped to unite the neighborhood after the race riots of 1967. Neighbors joined together to revive Garfield Park to patch the scars of the riots on the park.

The documents in this collection were found in the “Garfield Park Neighborhood Association” vertical file and on the association website.
