X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This panel of local community members will
  discuss the past\, present\, and future of Mixon Town\, a historic Africa
 n American neighborhood.</p>\n<p>The Jacksonville neighborhood of Mixon To
 wn (originally known as West Lewisville) was first established in the late
  1880s.&nbsp\;From its founding\, the neighborhood attracted African Ameri

 all businesses. Like many neighborhoods\, it has gone through a number of 
 changes. Despite these changes\, current and former residents have continu
 ed to stay in contact across the decades and are working toward shaping th
 e future of Mixon Town. Today\, sites such as the Oneida Bungalow Court ar
 e being restored and nonprofits such as the North Riverside CDC are suppor
 ting the interests of residents.<br />&nbsp\;<br />This program will highl

 storic preservation (including the placement of historic markers)\, and pl
