Harrison center grows as Johnson leads revived programs
Eva Johnson, program manager at Harrison Cultural Community Centre housed in the former Harrison Elementary School in Lorain, guides a reenergized slate of community programs. The center, now in its 32nd year, was saved from demolition in 1992 by retired teachers who bought the building and renovated it for college prep, Juneteenth events, and Lorain NAACP meetings, with Johnson aiming to revive past offerings and expand outreach.
