  • December 4, 2020 Dear Mayor Lyles and Charlotte City Council
    December 4, 2020 Dear Mayor Lyles and Charlotte City Council Members, I’m pleased to present you with the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority (CRVA) Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20). At the CRVA, we feel incredibly fortunate to lead the region’s visitor economy and to manage the City-owned venues with which we are entrusted. For the one in nine residents whose jobs are dependent on a vital and healthy tourism industry and the millions of visitors who experience Charlotte through travel, it is a responsibility we do not take lightly. Our role took on greater importance and urgency during this time of disruption and uncertainty, and I’m proud of how the CRVA has responded to the challenges of the pandemic with speed, creativity, innovation and empathy. In FY20 the CRVA’s activities directly generated an estimated $635 million in total economic impact for our community, including $368 million in incremental direct visitor spending as well as producing nearly $20 million in local tax collections. You’ll see in this report that visitor spending and hotel performance indicators for the hospitality industry had incredible momentum prior to COVID-19’s impact on travel and business. A strong partnership with the City is a fundamental aspect of our success in protecting and growing Charlotte’s market share of the visitor economy. Your recognition of the hospitality industry’s value and the subsequent steps you’ve taken to provide financial and operational support to businesses to help mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 show great leadership and vision.

  • Race and Recreation in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1927-1973
    ‘PUBLIC ORDER IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RIGHTS OF NEGROES’: RACE AND RECREATION IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, 1927-1973 by Michael Worth Ervin A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2015 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Sonya Ramsey ______________________________ Dr. Cheryl Hicks ______________________________ Dr. David Goldfield ii ©2015 Michael Worth Ervin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT MICHAEL WORTH ERVIN. “Public order is even more important than the rights of negroes:” race and recreation in Charlotte, North Carolina 1927-1973. (Under the direction of DR. SONYA RAMSEY) In July 1960, Charlotte’s Park and Recreation Commission enacted an official policy of desegregation in the city’s parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, and recreation centers. This development, which resulted in the first integrated municipal swimming pool in the state of North Carolina, seemed to embody the progressive business-centric ethos of Charlotte’s white elite. While token desegregation was lauded by commentators as evidence of Charlotte’s progressive race relations, the reality was far more complex. During the majority of the twentieth century, the Commission utilized a series of putatively moderate methods to suppress black dissent and muffle white reaction in the city. Even after de jure segregation crumbled, de facto segregation remained largely intact. This form of exclusion was buttressed by discriminatory public policies that redistributed black tax dollars to white communities, spatial segregation that insulated middle-and upper-class white neighborhoods from African Americans, and police harassment that fractured militant Black Power organizations.
