About the McCall Neighborhood Center
McCall Neighborhood Center
3231 E. Wyoming Ave
Barbara Butts, Executive Director
The Center was originally the home of Marshall McCall, the first African American postal worker in El Paso, and his wife, Olalee, 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 American for a period of time. The school was home to students from Kindergarten through 12th Grade.
The McCall center was established in 1983 by the late Leona Ford Washington. The center houses a museum, gift shop and several rooms in which classes and meetings of fraternal, civic and cultural organizations are held. Major African American celebrations such as Kwanzaa and the annual Juneteenth Breakfast are also held at the McCall center. Support the McCall Center.
