The George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center housed in the former
Carver High School site archives the rich cultural
heritage and experiences of the early pioneers who made
significant impact on the development of the
African-American community, the community’s era of
segregation. Along with showcasing the talent of
emerging youth artists, local, regional and renowned
visual and performing artists.
Phoenix Union Colored High /Carver High School building
was built in 1926 and is one of the few remaining
structures in Phoenix built exclusively for African
Americans during the period of enforced segregation from
1913 – 1954.
The Phoenix Monarchs Alumni Association of Arizona in
1986 incorporated itself as a non-profit organization
with the purpose of creating a community and cultural
center. In 1996, the Phoenix Monarchs Alumni
Association purchased the building and surrounding
property from the Phoenix Union High School District,
with the condition placed that the property must be
utilized as a community and cultural center. |
