Abstract:
For 145 years, a church’s annual camps have been promoting unity in an African American community thirty minutes from Charlotte. Two photographers, one having attended the camps during childhood, have been capturing Tucker Grove’s communal spirit. From her new perspective of the experience, Minuette Floyd began encouraging church members to take pictures, albeit for another purpose: document family history.

Abstract:
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system, cited as the most segregated in the state, is trying to make an integration comeback through programs such as pairing. Uniting schools such as Billingsville and Cotswold, it offers students from the metro’s poorer sections the same quality education those from more affluent areas have had. In the process, leaders hope this program can also help change Charlotte’s dismal socioeconomic ranking among the largest cities in the US.

Abstract:
A Podcast interview with a rape survivor shrouded in anonymity became well known as an illustration of the typical survivor’s road to justice. As the author revealed, it often contains long investigation process delays and yields no convictions, as confirmed by the accompanying statistics. From the ensuing investigation and ten part series about sexual assault on “Sarah Says,” Sarah Delia hoped to help make their road to justice shorter and smoother.
