Brooklyn Oral History Project
Brooklyn was a thriving African-American neighborhood in Charlotte's Second Ward which was physically demolished by urban renewal from 1960-1977. This project was conducted in the spring of 2004 and 2007 by graduate students in the Oral History and Memory classes at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte under the supervision of Dr. Karen Flint.
