to 3 p.m., weekends by appointment. The McCall Neighborhood Center is El Paso's key gathering place for many small organizations. Though the majority of the organizations that meet at the center are African American, it is open to all who desire to enhance the existence of this wonderful piece of history. The McCall Neighborhood Center is our place. Established in 1983 by the late Leona Ford Washington, the center boasts a museum, gift shop and several rooms in which classes or fraternal, civic and cultural organizations are held. Major African American celebrations such as Kwanzaa and the annual Juneteenth Breakfast are also held at the center. The historic home of Marshall and Olalee McCall, this viable piece of our history here in El Paso is a treasure within the community. Donations are gladly appreciated. If you are searching for a worthy cause to give to, please consider the McCall Neighborhood Center. Facts: Marshall McCall was the first African American postal worker in El Paso, and his wife, Olalee, was a principal of Douglass School which was established in approximately 1895. Douglass school was an all black school due to segregation which was ever-present in America for a period of time. The school was home to students from Kindergarten through 12th Grade.

Chamizal National Memorial

“I know you can’t let me vote, but I’ve got to try,” replied Dr. Lawrence A. Nixon to an election official as he attempted to vote in the Democratic primary in El Paso in 1924. On this #MLKDay, we celebrate three El Pasoans who advanced civil rights in the borderlands. Located two miles north of Chamizal National Memorial, a plaque at the McCall Neighborhood Center commemorates Dr. Lawrence A. Nixon. Dr. Nixon’s challenge of the all-white Democratic primary in El Paso helped pave the way to securing voting rights for all US citizens regardless of race. The neighborhood center itself began as the home of Marshall and Olalee McCall. Marshall McCall was the first African American postal worker in El Paso. Olalee McCall served as an English teacher at the once-segregated Douglass School and in 1937 became the first female high-school principal in the El Paso Independent School District. How can we more fully recognize El Paso’s African American community that was once centered in the neighborhoods surrounding where Chamizal National Memorial stands today? – RMS
