Eatonville residents met at St. Lawrence A.M.E. Church to discuss the town’s history and the disputed sale of the former Hungerford School property. The property, sold to Dr. Phillips Charities for redevelopment, is the subject of a legal challenge alleging improper negotiation. Participants emphasized the importance of preserving Eatonville’s legacy as one of the nation’s first self-governing Black towns and ensuring community voices shape its future. The lawsuit over the land sale remains unresolved.
