Abstract:

Beginning in the early 20th century, Black residents in Charlotte established neighborhoods like Greenville and Biddleville in the western portion of the city near Johnston C. Smith University. Historic West End Partners was founded in 2010 to help revive the once prominent Black business district along Beatties Ford Road. Tanya Adams is leading the effort.
