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. -

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A. Greyser Harvard Business School Kenneth Cortsen University College of Northern Denmark (UCN) Working Paper 21-111 Copyright © 2021 by Stephen A. Greyser and Kenneth Cortsen.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance. -

Industry, Transportation and Education
Industry, Transportation and Education The New South Development of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Prepared by Sarah A. Woodard and Sherry Joines Wyatt David E, Gall, AIA, Architect September 2001 Introduction Purpose The primary objective of this report is to document and analyze the remaining, intact, early twentieth-century industrial and school buildings in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County and develop relevant contexts and registration requirements that will enable the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission and the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office to evaluate the individual significance of these building types. Limits and Philosophy The survey and this report focus on two specific building types: industrial buildings and schools. Several of these buildings have already been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nevertheless, the increase in rehabilitation projects involving buildings of these types has necessitated the creation of contexts and registration requirements to facilitate their evaluation for National Register eligibility. The period of study was from the earliest resources, dating to the late nineteenth century, until c.1945 reflecting the large number of schools and industrial buildings recorded during the survey of Modernist resources in Charlotte, 1945 - 1965 (prepared by these authors in 2000). Developmental History From Settlement to the Civil War White settlers arrived in the Piedmont region of North Carolina beginning in the 1740s and Mecklenburg County was carved from Anson County in 1762. Charlotte, the settlement incorporated as the Mecklenburg county seat in 1768, was established primarily by Scots-Irish Presbyterians at the intersection of two Native American trade routes. These two routes were the Great Wagon Road leading from Pennsylvania and a trail that connected the backcountry of North and South Carolina with Charleston. -

FINAL REPORT Charlotte Comprehensive Architectural Survey, Phase II Charlotte, North Carolina Prepared for: John G. Howard Charlotte Historic District Commission Charlotte Mecklenburg Planning Department 600 East Fourth Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 Prepared by: Mattson, Alexander and Associates, Inc. 2228 Winter Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28205 2 September 2015 Charlotte Comprehensive Architectural Survey, Phase II August 2015 I. Phase II Reconnaissance Survey Methodology In 2014, the City of Charlotte was awarded a federal grant from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) to conduct a second reconnaissance-level architectural survey of Charlotte. The survey was conducted between January and August 2015. The earlier Phase I survey of 2013-2014 focused on the area within the radius of Route 4, a partial ring road around Charlotte’s central business district and surrounding neighborhoods. This Phase II survey concentrated on the areas within the current city limits that lie outside Route 4, much of which had been rural until the annexations and suburban development of recent decades. These outlying areas are currently documented in 361 HPO database records, seventeen of which are surveyed neighborhood or historic districts. The remaining records documented individual properties. In addition, this second study included an investigation of the Dilworth National Register Historic District, south of the center city, to determine the status of the individual resources within the district. Listed in the National Register in 1987 (locally designated 1983; 1992) the Dilworth Historic District has experienced intense development pressure in recent years. It is anticipated that these reconnaissance-level surveys (completed August 2014 and August 2015) will be the basis for three future intensive-level architectural investigations. -
