SCLC #503 — 1995 San Francisco Rosa Parks Senior Apartments tenth anniversary

Finding #503: A two-panel invitation in the Rosa Parks Papers names Rosa Parks Senior Apartments and the San Francisco Housing Authority, announcing a tenth-anniversary celebration for December 15, 1995, at 2:00 p.m. at the apartment complex. Direct archival evidence that organizers used her name for a senior-housing community and advertised its decennial while she was alive.

A “tenth anniversary” in 1995 points roughly to 1985 as the reference year, but the invitation does not establish construction, opening, dedication, or formal naming date. Interior scan prints 1995 (OCR on red paper can misread 1998 — visual check controls).

Craft locks: invitation = intended celebration ≠ proof it took place, that Parks traveled to SF, spoke, toured, funded, or managed housing-authority operations; housing authority named on invitation ≠ present building status or property-record inspection. Distinct from schools/prizes/one-day ceremonial programs track.
