' hi fail Historical marker set for Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE The Friends of the Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center will host a ceremony of the unveiling of a historical marker in honor of the his tory of this library on Saturday, May 21, at 3:00 p.m. at 1110 East Seventh St. The Winston-Salem Historical Committee is presenting this program. This library has some very rich history for African-Americans in Winston-Salem. In the interest of the African Americans, the George Moses Horton Branch was first housed in a room loaned by the Chestnut Street branch of the YWCA and was opened February 15, 1927. In the 1930s the Horton Branch moved to a new rented home, then moved to a room at 216 East Sixth St., which had formerly been a store. In 1937 an adjoining room was secured and the Horton Branch celebrated its 10th anniversary by opening a separate room for children. In April 1953, shortly after the new Central library opened, it was announced that a site for the new Negro Branch Library was being offered to the city by three African American doctors. Dr. J.C. Jordan, Dr. H.D. Malloy and Dr. H.R. Malloy. The site was at the southeast corner of the intersection of East Seventh St. and Woodland Ave. It opened in 1954 as the East Winston Library and was renamed in 2004 and now operates as The Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center, serving the community and the city as a place for research and learning and is an important venue for community functions. This library has a DVD and a music collection and computers that are open to the public. It also has adult and children's programs such as "The Red Stiletto Book Club" and the Preschool Story Time Sessions, Kwanzaa, Black History Month, and a Summer Reading Program and the Junior East Winston Elegant Ladies Society, (J.E.W.E.L.S.), which is a group for young black ladies between the ages of 11-18 that are taught life lessons. The Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center also houses the graduating class pictures of Atkins High School from 1932 to 1971, as well as "Shades of Forsyth Oral History Project of Selected African-Americans in Forsyth County." A new Children's Corner was set up in April 2016 with new children's computers and accented with a mural that was done with an African Folklore Theme. We are deeply proud of this library and all of its accomplishments for the community and the city. If you need more informa tion, please call Rev. Walker at 336-749-5090.
