  • Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963

    Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963

    SUTTELL, BRIAN WILLIAM, Ph.D. Campus to Counter: Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963. (2017) Directed by Dr. Charles C. Bolton. 296 pp. This work investigates civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, in the early 1960s, especially among students at Shaw University, Saint Augustine’s College (Saint Augustine’s University today), and North Carolina College at Durham (North Carolina Central University today). Their significance in challenging traditional practices in regard to race relations has been underrepresented in the historiography of the civil rights movement. Students from these three historically black schools played a crucial role in bringing about the end of segregation in public accommodations and the reduction of discriminatory hiring practices. While student activists often proceeded from campus to the lunch counters to participate in sit-in demonstrations, their actions also represented a counter to businesspersons and politicians who sought to preserve a segregationist view of Tar Heel hospitality. The research presented in this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which ideas of academic freedom gave additional ideological force to the civil rights movement and helped garner support from students and faculty from the “Research Triangle” schools comprised of North Carolina State College (North Carolina State University today), Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many students from both the “Protest Triangle” (my term for the activists at the three historically black schools) and “Research Triangle” schools viewed efforts by local and state politicians to thwart student participation in sit-ins and other forms of protest as a restriction of their academic freedom.

  • Chavis Park Carousel Landmark Designation Report Prepared for the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission

    Chavis Park Carousel Landmark Designation Report Prepared for the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission

    Chavis Park Carousel Landmark Designation Report Prepared for the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission Originally Prepared January 2001 By M. Ruth Little Longleaf Historic Resources Revised February 2008 By April Montgomery Circa, Inc. 1 of 18 Physical Description The Chavis Park Carousel stands in the center of Chavis Park on Chavis Way. It is sheltered within a frame pavilion on the south side of Park Road, an internal street within the park. The twenty‐three acre park is located in southeast Raleigh between East Lenoir Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The carousel was installed in the park on July 2, 1937. Experts estimate the date of manufacture of the carousel to be between 1916 and 1923, because it closely resembles a documented 1916 Herschell Carousel1. Carousel: The carousel, known as a ʺNo. 2, Special Three Abreast, Allan Herschell Carousel, was purchased from the Allan Herschell Company of North Tonawanda, New York, for $4,000 in 1937. The carousel had been designed and used for traveling shows originally, and was refurbished prior to its sale to the City of Raleigh. The Herschell Company catalogue describes this model as a forty‐foot carousel containing: thirty‐six hand‐carved horses (outer row studded with jewels) and two beautifully carved double‐seat Chariots. Passenger capacity 48 persons. All horses are jumpers. Horse Hanger pipe and platform hanger pipe is encased in polished Brass. The Cornice, Shields and panel Picture Center are highly decorated works of art and are wired for 196 lights. Oil paintings and hand carvings combine with bright colors to produce a beautiful and practical machine.

  • Greenway & Trails

    Greenway & Trails

    CHAPTER 6: GREENWAY & TRAILS A. Overview The Town of Cary envisions its greenway network as an emerald necklace that ties together the community’s parks, neighborhoods, schools, cultural sites, and business districts. In the nine years since the approval of the previous 2003 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Facilities Master Plan, the Town has begun to achieve that vision of connectivity. The current greenway network has now grown to over 62 miles of trails. Where the Town’s greenway program once consisted of a series of isolated segments, it is transforming into a system of trails. The 2003 Master Plan also articulated the importance of environmental stewardship in the development of the trail network. Cary has applied sustainable design practice throughout all of its trail projects to maintain open space, wildlife corridors and habitat, use of native vegetation, and effective erosion control measures. Many of these practices have been incorporated into the Town’s greenway design standards and will be implemented in future designs. With regard to design standards, this plan re- articulates Cary’s commitment to the application of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) design standards. Although the Town has shown a commitment to greenway construction that rivals any other community in North Carolina, the citizens of Cary continue to demand greater connectivity and linkage to other communities, as well as to other regionally important trail systems. This is due in large part to Cary being the central jurisdiction within the Triangle Area. As such, the Town of Cary plays a crucial role in connecting regional, statewide, and national trails.
