My name is Nilesvan Lee Flowers II, and I am a student at Huston- Tillotson University. I am reaching out to advocate on behalf of the St. Joseph Grand Lodge, an integral part of East Austin's rich history. The St. Joseph Grand Lodge has long stood as a testament to the cultural and historical tapestry of our community, serving as a significant hub for social and civic activities among African Americans in the area. Its designation or review as a historical landmark is essential to preserve its legacy and ensure its stories continue to inspire future generations. I kindly request that the St. Joseph Grand Lodge be considered for placement on an upcoming Historic Landmark Commission agenda. Thank you for your time and consideration.
