Carl Ewing has thrived on community service throughout his adult life. From chartering a Scout troop to serving on various boards he has worked to make a lifelong positive difference. His passion to serve continues as President of the Association of African American Cultural Gardens (AAACG). Carl’s goal is to see the garden’s building project to its completion. Phase one, the Past Pavilion, of this 2.6-million-dollar endeavor has been completed. Under Carl’s leadership the AAACG obtained 501c3 organization status and has developed a strategic plan to complete phases two and three, the Present and Future Pavilions. The AAACG also introduced its first annual African American Heritage Series to the community, an educational forum discussing the African American experience in greater Cleveland, as well as, started its student Ambassador program at Cuyahoga Community College. Carl attended Kent State University as a Political Science major.
