building on four decades of service

The Plano Community Forum was founded by Ken Chestnut, Fred Moses, Al Schexnayder, and Cecil Starks on December 10, 1981 in response to a need for African Americans to get involved in the Plano Community; as well as to create a forum to honor and recognize the achievements of African Americans in Plano. PCF has always promoted community involvement and recognized the accomplishments of those in the Plano community. As a result of this passion, PCF sponsored and co-sponsored many events in the city including, but not limited to, the implementation of the first MLK parade and weekend long activities.
