Justice Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center Tour
Vacant for over 20 years, Beloved Community Services Corporation (“BCSC”) has redeveloped the former elementary school of Justice Thurgood Marshall in the Upton community into the Justice Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center at PS 103. The 18k SF LEED Gold building will continue to honor the legacy of Justice Thurgood Marshall and other civil rights leaders who called Upton home while also providing needed community services, resources, and education in the historically underserved community.
The Amenity Center will be a major step forward in establishing Upton as a cultural tourism destination to celebrate and honor the community’s significance in the nation’s Civil Rights Movement. The new Justice Thurgood Marshall Center will help Upton actualize its community vision, which commits to “reclaim the vestiges of its distinct African American heritage and be the hub of a cultural revitalization where the memory of the great entertainers, artists and civic leaders who proudly proclaimed Upton as their neighborhood will serve as a beacon by drawing investments back into the community.”
