The East Jerusalem/Newman community of Hattiesburg was a vibrant hub of commerce and education from the 1950s through the 1970s. Though the area experienced a period of decline, it is now enjoying an exciting resurgence due to infrastructure projects reconnecting the neighborhood with increased traffic and renewed energy. “Lest We Forget” honors the rich heritage of the neighborhood by thoughtfully incorporating elements that reflect its recognizable architecture and longstanding industries.
