Thea Bowman Center

"find out how it feels to be a person of color"

23 October 1989 - AHANA House is renamed to Thea Bowman Center. During the dedication ceremony, Bowman calls on AHANA students to teach the BC community to include AHANA in the first stage of plans, not just the final stage, and challenges the white BC community to find out how it feels to be a person of color.
