  • Henry Parks Is Not Recognized on the List of Casualties on the 1909 Monument at Kings Mountain
    Henry Parks is not recognized on the list of casualties on the 1909 monument at Kings Mountain. He was wounded by a pewter ball through the arm. Tory doctor Uzal Johnson treated the wound the next day. Henry’s uncle, George Parks, was assigned by Colonel Benjamin Cleveland to escort him home. It took two months for Henry to recover. Henry lived on Parks Creek adjoining the Surry/Wilkes County line near Gabriel Loving and William Loving, near Little Elkin River. George is the probable bearer of the news of the Lewis and Biecknell wounds to their neighborhoods. Henry Parks’ Georgia certificate 30.615 was issued 04May1836 for a federal pension at $40/annum in Franklin County. The pension was suspended 15Oct1839.

  • Cleveland's Greater University Circle Initiative
    Cleveland’s Greater University Circle Initiative An Anchor-Based Strategy for Change Walter Wright Kathryn W. Hexter Nick Downer Cleveland’s Greater University Circle Initiative An Anchor-Based Strategy for Change Walter Wright, Kathryn W. Hexter, and Nick Downer Cities are increasingly turning to their “anchor” institutions as drivers of economic development, harnessing the power of these major economic players to benefit the neighborhoods where they are rooted. This is especially true for cities that are struggling with widespread poverty and disinvestment. Ur- ban anchors­­—typically hospitals and universities—have some- times isolated themselves from the poor and struggling neigh- borhoods that surround them. But this is changing. Since the late 1990s, as population, jobs, and investment have migrated outward, these “rooted in place” institutions are becoming a key to the long, hard work of revitalization. In Cleveland, the Greater University Circle Initiative is a unique, multi-stake- holder initiative with a ten-year track record. What is the “se- cret sauce” that keeps this effort together? Walter W. Wright is the Program Manager for Economic Inclusion at Cleveland State. Kathryn W. Hexter is the Director of the Center for Community Planning and Development of Cleveland State University’s Levin College of Urban Affairs. Nick Downer is a Graduate Assistant at the Center for Community Planning and Development. 1 Cleveland has won national attention for the role major non- profits are playing in taking on the poverty and disinvest- ment plaguing some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Where once vital university and medical facilities built barri- ers separating themselves from their neighbors, now they are engaging with them, generating job opportunities, avenues to affordable housing, and training in a coordinated way.
