We’re excited to celebrate a Topeka Trailblazer!

The Black American Blueprint Collective is honored to invite you to the opening reception of our newest exhibit! The “Carol Parker & The Topeka Ebony Times.”

Join us at the Our Stories Museum, located inside Westridge Mall, to honor Carol Parker’s incredible legacy. Mrs. Parker’s dedication to local news helped shape our community’s understanding of its history! This new exhibit, created in collaboration with the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, brings important information about African American Topeka into the spotlight.

We’re welcoming a very special guest speaker from Washington, DC, to share insights on Mrs. Parker’s work. Come for the history, stay for the music and refreshments, and connect with the community! This is a free event, and everyone is welcome! We hope to see you there.
