Sorting out: Racism in the New South

Feb. 9 -  Hal Clarke - As we look at racism in our city, let’s start by grounding ourselves in our faith and what we believe Jesus is calling us to do. Join Hal who will talk about his experience in struggling with these questions:

  • As a follower of Jesus, how should I think about prejudice, injustice, and poverty in Charlotte?
  • If I were explaining to Jesus face to face how I live my life in Charlotte, how would Jesus challenge me?
  • What are the myths that I tell myself that Jesus would debunk?
  • What am I called to do differently? 

Feb. 16 - Dr. Tom Hanchett will talk about the new edition of his book Sorting Out the New South City: Race, Class, and Urban Development in Charlotte, 1875–1975 , which traces how Charlotte grew big — and explores the surprising history of how it became segregated, both racially and economically.

Dr. Hanchett, recently retired from Levine Museum of the New South, is now the Historian-in-Residence with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. 

Dr. Hanchett's book will be for sale on the day of the class.
