Crystal Cauley was appointed by Hendersonville City Council members to the Henderson County Historic Preservation Commission during their monthly council meeting on October 7, 2021.

Cauley is a native of Henderson County. The ceremony was witnessed by her daughter, Tiara Channer, along with supporters Joyce Bryant and Raphael Morales.

The mission of the Historic Preser-vation Commission of Henderson County is to preserve and protect Hendersonville’s historical assets and ensure that protective measures are in place for future generations to come.

Cauley serves on the Arts Council Board of Henderson County and the advisory board for The People’s Museum, which includes two exhibitions highlighting Cauley’s mission to use art as a preservation tool for African American oral history.

Cauley continues to seek ways to interact with the younger generation—and unite the larger community—through Black History programs, speaking engagements, exhibits of African art, and using the main Henderson County Library to educate others about African American culture.

“Being part of an official city body as a commissioner in this capacity is an honor. I’m very proud to serve,” said Crystal.

We honor and celebrate this young woman who brings her multifaceted talents and focused dedication together to implement her vision for the community she knows and loves.
