  • North-Carolina Ctsos
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in North Carolina 1 As a career educator for more than 30 years in North Carolina and a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) adviser for the majority of these years, I value the impact of CTSOs. DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, Skills USA and TSA provide our students multiple opportunities to network in their field. In high school I developed and excelled in the business skills that led me to choose my career path in college and career. As our students prepare themselves for their future in education or the job market, equipping them to find their career path and to be competitive in the marketplace are two of the many benefits to belonging to a CTSO. I have seen directly how CTSOs have impacted students’ lives in multiple ways. By attending local, regional, state and national events hosted by their CTSOs, our students learn to network socially and professionally and develop leadership skills necessary to succeed in their career field and life. Our goal is for each of our students to be able to compete globally in the 21st century and find gainful employment in their field. CTSOs provide positive opportunities for our students to meet these goals by building leadership, public speaking skills, technical competencies and self-confidence. In North Carolina over 104,000 work-place credentials have been earned by students enrolled in business, health science, marketing, family and consumer science, technology, agriculture, and trade and industry

  • OAKLAWN PARK, an African American Neighborhood in Charlotte History Essay Prepared for an Application for Historic District Designation
    DRAFT – August 2020 Russell Avenue at Dean Street, Tom Hanchett photo, May 10, 2017 OAKLAWN PARK, an African American neighborhood in Charlotte History essay prepared for an application for Historic District designation Oaklawn Park is one of Charlotte’s best-preserved post-World War II suburbs. It was created for African American families in the latter days of racial segregation by Charles Ervin, the city’s most prolific suburban developer. Today the brick ranch houses and split levels lining Gunn Street (likely named for educator and nationally known jazz musician J.H. “Jimmie” Gunn), Waddell Street, Dean Street, Orvis Street, Miles Court, Kay Street and parts of Russell Avenue and Mulberry Avenue look much as they did when first built during the years 1955 – 1961. The neighborhood’s original homeowners worked in wide array of occupations from ministers and educators to warehousemen and janitors. Most households were what would now be called “two career families” with women employed as teachers. Notable history-makers included Dr. C.W. Williams, a pioneer in desegregating healthcare, Dr. Mary T. Harper, co-founder of the museum that is now the Harvey Gantt Center for African American Art and Culture, Rev. Raymond Worlsey, pastor at the city’s leading black Presbyterian Church and a spokesperson for Civil Rights, and Willie L. Johnson, Sr., and his son Gerald Oren Johnson, who published the black Charlotte Post newspaper for over four decades. 1 DRAFT – August 2020 Architectural Integrity: Oaklawn Park retains architectural significant architectural integrity because the houses have undergone few alterations. The Oaklawn Park neighborhood continues to look much as it did in its early hey-day half a century ago.

  • Charlotte: a Tale of Two Cities
    The Echo Foundation presents Charlotte: A Tale of Two Cities The Echo Foundation 1125 E. Morehead St., Ste. 101 Charlotte, NC 28204 704-347-3844 www.echofoundation.org www.inthefootstepsofeliewiesel.org www.echocubaproject.org Dear Teachers, Inspired by the Opportunity Task Force Report, and in harmony with Leading on Opportunity, with its 2018 curriculum, The Echo Foundation brings to the table the significant power and vision of students. How many among us were surprised to learn that out of the nation’s 50 largest cities, Charlotte ranks at the bottom in terms of opportunity for upward mobility of its citizens? For some, it was new information, for others, it was no surprise – it is their reality. As teachers, students and Echo Trustees considered the Task Force Report, we found ourselves wondering about the role of young people. “Where are they in this process?” we asked. Do they understand the opportunity divide and what it means for their fellow students? Are we harnessing the power of the good minds and untethered spirits of Charlotte’s youth as we look for answers? After all, they will inherit tomorrow, what we do today. The Echo curriculum has three elements: 1.) Information & Opinions, 2.) Activities & Resources, and 3.) An Invitation to each school, teacher, classroom, club, and student to reach out to another school, another group, another individual for a serious discussion about opportunity. We did this at Echo this summer; most interestingly with members of the Young Black Leadership Alliance. We made new friends, learned a great deal that we had previously not known, and began brainstorming ideas for creating a better Charlotte – all this among students from diverse zip codes! But this isn’t enough.
