Abstract:
Helping the city to close its fiscal gap toward the construction of Freedom Apartments is Covenant Presbyterian Church. Its low interest loan, a form of financial assistance rarely adopted by the area’s churches, is a continuation of efforts to alleviate housing insecurity. Other endeavors enacted since Covenant’s founding in 1951 include its aid to blacks displaced by urban renewal in the 1960s to co-founding the Jeremiah Project in the 1980s.

Scoggins’ efforts to end school segregation in Charlotte, started at Harding High School in 1957, was nurtured by parents who promoted equal treatment for all.

Abstract:
Before Keith Scott’s death in September 2016, many may have suggested that racial relations had improved, citing as proof Charlotte’s schools becoming a model of desegregation. The protest after Scott’s death drove home another perception about black-white relations: they were more reminiscent of the Jim Crow era than the 1980s.

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.
