Chavis Park Gov’t celebrates shutter ‘salt in 75 years wound’ Research questions the value of food pantry staples

Southeast Raleigh were out in full force to celebrate Chavis Park’s 75th anniversary. By Latisha Catchatoorian [email protected]

RALEIGH – Community members flocked to the John Chavis Memorial Park last weekend for two days of food, events and recreation to celebrate the historic park’s 75th anniversary. Chavis Park opened in 1937 and was often referred to as the “Negroes’ Park” until it was officially named after John Chavis, a local black teacher, preacher and Revolutionary War veteran. Born a free man, Chavis was one of the most prominent Raleigh teachers of the 19th century. Barbara Tharpe Walker brought her daughter to the Saturday activities. She remembers coming to the park as a child. “It was wonderful.
