Abstract:

"The Pearl, Atrium Health’s planned innovation district and home to Charlotte’s first medical school, will serve as a hub for the city’s future. How will it reckon with the painful history it’s built on?. . . Good Samaritan Hospital, the first privately funded Black hospital in the state, opened in September 1891."Charlotte philanthropist Jane Renwick Smedberg Wilkes was instrumental in soliciting nationwide support for the project through the Episcopal Church.
