Umstead Park/RDU Quarry Sunset Clause Trial

NC Office of Administrative Hearings 1711 New Hope Church Road, Raleigh

From RDU Forest Community Discussion Group YES! It is REALLY happening! After 6 years of DEQ-Mining staff telling us we could not appeal the loss of the 50 year sunset clause and park protection buffers (which were done in secret in March 2018); after huge citizen response (big thanks to all of you!); after several court filings and overcoming several "Motions to Dismiss"; after being sent back and forth to different courts; after filings and hearings to try to get to a trial on the merits of our case ---> we are finally getting a contested trial! The trial will go for at least 3 days, generally taking 2-hour lunch break. There are usually additional short breaks for bathroom visits and attorneys to talk with clients. It would be helpful to have an audience. Feel free to come for just a hour or 2 if that is all you have or stay for it all! You may arrive or leave courtroom at any time, but if you need to do such, please do so quietly. We are not allowed to talk during the court. No photos or recordings, but you can bring your laptop/tablet. The Office of Administration Hearings (OAH) […]

African Cultured Expressions of the Arts

John Greene Park 401 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd

We are providing a platform to celebrate creativity and cultural heritage through creative expression, culture, and society. African Cultured Expressions of the Arts entails an in-depth knowledge of African textiles and how to create quilts and other crafts using African fabrics. Celebrate Juneteenth by attending our African Cultured Expressions of the Arts "Sewcial" on June 19 as we explore Ankara fabrics and African American quilts that tell stories, document family trees, and maintain memories of our heritage. The history of quilting in Black American culture began as early as the 17th century, with enslaved women threading, sewing, and quilting together patchwork blankets made with scraps of fabric - purely to keep themselves and their families warm throughout the night. Quilts preserve black history, culture and storytelling as art. Attendees will be allowed to explore our African American History Museum exhibit, make take-home crafts using African fabrics to harvest and register on-site for upcoming quilting workshops at John P. "Top" Greene African American Cultural Center. Ages: AllCost: Free
