FWCRC IN THE NEWS:
When a block of 600-square-foot homes were built behind the DeLuxe Theater on Lyons Avenue, the thoroughfare was the cultural and commercial center of Fifth Ward, a thriving business district where more than 40-Black-owned businesses sold everything from groceries to shoes.
FWCRC IN THE NEWS:
The Fifth Ward community is celebrating its 10th Annual Lyons Avenue Renaissance Festival on Saturday. Just don't expect any jousting tournaments or medieval getups — instead, visitors can watch a helicopter drop 50,000 plastic, treat-filled Easter eggs to gaggles of screaming children.
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase."
- Martin Luther King Jr.
