Raleigh's Black History and Heritage: 1945-1975
The Raleigh Historic Development Commission (RHDC) is preparing a report that will identify places important to Black history and heritage between 1945-1975 in Raleigh. The report will include:
- A list of significant historic places (both existing and lost).
- A special focus on churches, entertainment venues, the Civil Rights movement, Black architects and builders, and the Biltmore Hills neighborhood.
- Recommendations for buildings and sites that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
