    In All My Years UNIVERSITY Of ILLINOIS LIBRARY , Portraits of . AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN Older Blacks in STACKS Champaign-Urbana by Raymond Bial Champaign County Historical Museum Champaign, Illinois Copyright © 1983 by Champaign County Historical Museum In All My Years All rights reserved. Except for the purpose of a brief review, no part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the publisher. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 83-072447 ISBN : 0-9612078-0-9 Champaign County Historical Museum 709 West University Avenue Champaign, Illinois 61820 Introduction Champaign-Urbana can be divided in many ways. Wright Street divides the two cities politically; residents can be divided into groups depending on whether or not they are affiliated with the University of Illinois, and the division of land into agricultural and non-agricultural uses is readily apparent. And Champaign-Urbana still can be divided racially. According to the 1980 federal census about ten percent of the population of Champaign-Urbana is Black. Like the other nine tenths, Blacks in Champaign-Urbana occupy every niche in the economic and social communities, and they have contributed significantly to the vitality of the two cities. Yet, their contributions have been largely overlooked. Except for a few doctoral dissertations at the University and the oral history project at the Champaign Public Library's Douglass Branch, the history of Champaign-Urbana's Black commu­ nity has not been included in the standard histories despite the fact that Blacks have been in Champaign-Urbana since the 1860's. Some may question our beginning with an exhibit of photographic portraits rather than with a more traditional overview of the history of this group.

    Urban Design and Development “Preserve and build on Downtown’s urban character.” Summary 19 Challenges 20-21 Guiding Principles 22 Strategies and Implementation 23-39 18 Summary Downtown Champaign, like most other downtowns throughout the United States, has undergone drastic changes over the past 50 years. A sudden loss of retail and increased dependency on automobiles led downtown to rethink its approach to doing business by providing a suburban-like experience. As a result, a number of city blocks were razed to make way for additional parking, only to see businesses fl ee to suburban shopping malls and strip centers. Over 60 buildings were lost and only a handful replaced since 1960. The map to the right shows the progressive demolition of downtown buildings (red) and the infi ll projects (yellow) that have been created. Infi ll projects have fallen short of repairing the urban fabric downtown and some times has resembled suburban developments, and not the dense urban structures that once stood in their place. The goal of this plan is to “preserve and build on downtown’s urban character”. This means This historic aerial shows the loss of downtown structures over the past 50 years. The red represents buildings lost to demolition encouraging not only renovations of existing and the yellow indicates locations of infi ll projects. Downtown once boasted signifi cant density structures but the construction of new buildings and urban form. Much of this was lost with the that refl ect urban design principles. demolition of over sixty structures between 1950 and today. See map to the right.
