donate to the historical marker
In an effort to permanently recognize the historical significance of Jones School and local African American and Black families and community members in Ann Arbor, we are working to create and place a historical marker for Jones School near the building.
We expect the historical marker to cost $30,000 for the cost to create, install, and care for the marker. Please help us by donating to help make this a reality by the spring of 2023.
Thank you to the Ann Arbor Historical Foundation, Ray Detter, and Chris Crockett (retired Community High Librarian) for their support and dedication in preserving local history.
