In 1965
Community leaders gathered at Womack Memorial Church at 44th Street and Carrollton Avenue to discuss the formation of a neighborhood group to support the diverse mix of residents in Meridian-Kessler. Based on two of the boundary streets, the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association was founded.
In 2024
MKNA planted 10 trees in Meridian-Kessler to expand the community’s treasured tree canopy. Two trees were planted outside the sanctuary doors of Womack Memorial Church.
