The House Educators Built was abuzz on April 9 as members, staff, former presidents, retirees and legislators came to say goodbye to the iconic building that has stood on the corner of South and Salisbury streets in downtown Raleigh for more than four decades. President Tamika Walker Kelly and Vice President Bryan Proffitt, along with guests, gathered in front of the Center for a touching farewell ceremony. In honor of those whose vision made NCAE possible, President Walker Kelly placed soil from the grounds in a keepsake jar that will be displayed with other mementos from the 700 South Salisbury St. location. “This building, and what has happened in this building, is not just our NCAE history. It’s North Carolina history. And leaving is bittersweet!”
