HEART 9/11 - Rebuilding Africatown, AL with NY Mets Great Cleon Jones

NY Mets Legend Cleon Jones with HEART 9/11 Project Leader Jim Earl, FDNY Ret.

HEART 9/11 sent 30 skilled firefighters, law enforcement, and building trades members to Africatown, Alabama, the hometown of 1969 “Miracle Mets” team member Cleon Jones, to rebuild 8-12 homes in collaboration with his non-profit, The Last Out Community Foundation.

Africatown is a historic community north of Mobile, formed by a group of West Africans who, in 1860, were bought and transported against their will in the last known illegal shipment of enslaved people to the United States.

Cleon’s mission is to see his hometown of Africatown prosper for future generations. We can make this Miracle Met’s dream a reality with your support.
