SUSTAINING A LEGACY
The Project’s Goal
As an important landmark providing a sanctuary from racial inequity, and in an effort to build on the legacy these homes helped establish, a collaboration of community non-profits and private businesses along with the Mims Family have created the Mims Houses Landscape Project.
How a local family’s courage and determination established a sanctuary for people of color.
The project’s goal is to ensure the landmark's legacy is maintained by means of the construction of a new landscape design honoring the unique relationship between the Mims Houses, the University of Oregon and the Eugene community.
