Gospel Extravaganza – The Five Black Churches of The Fourth Ward – Black Neighborhood Expo

Fletcher Hall 2 E. South Street, Raleigh

Fourth Ward Celebration August 15, 2024 You’re invited! Greetings! I am Octavia Rainey, a Raleigh Historian. I would like to invite you to an event series to learn more about the Fourth Ward neighborhood you live in. The history goes back to the Cannon Planation. The Cannon family land was located near the railroad track and sold to freedmen. The Fourth Ward neighborhood was once a thriving African American neighborhood that was destroyed in the mid-1960s by urban renewal. The Fourth Ward is the name of our neighborhood, and we must maintain the name of our neighborhood. The City of Raleigh has a long-standing history of supporting activities that celebrate the rich history and cultural heritage of the city’s neighborhoods both past and present. This weeklong celebration is an excellent opportunity to come out and meet your old neighbors, talk about the past, and learn about the future of the Fourth Ward. Please join me at any or all of the six Fourth Ward Celebration events listed below. I’m looking forward to seeing you there. August 26 – September 1 Events Monday, August 26, 6p.m. – 7p.m.: A Celebration of Mount Hope Cemetery Fourth Ward, Mount Hope Cemetery, 120 Prospect […]

Southwest Community Engagement Meeting

After four and a half years, we have approval for access to the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.) We will meet in person, without streaming, this coming Monday evening, September 9th, at 7:00 pm. There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections followed by social time. Hopefully, we can also return to having a program update about Carolina Pines Park's activities. I have been told that we can also use the Center's freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate some ice cream. Please come and help with the ice cream. Since I have no idea as to how many will attend I don't need to be left with melting cartons and no freezer space. This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just reacquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Several of our City Councilors have indicated they plan to attend. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. So much of the World has changed over the last few years.

Crabtree West Celebration

Celebrate Crabtree Creek Trail’s Extension “Our greenways are a signature amenity that differentiates Raleigh from other places,” says Beverley Clark, chair of the city’s parks recreation and greenway advisory board and founder of the Friends of Raleigh Greenways (FRoG). On Sept. 14, FRoG is celebrating the completion of the final extension of the Crabtree Creek Trail, which closes the gap between Umstead Park and the Neuse River. “It has spectacular elevated switchbacks and a beautiful suspension bridge,” says Clark. Join FRoG for a 5K race or 10-mile bike ride, or watch the little ones parade across the new bridge. Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner will host the event, which also includes a DJ and food trucks. Proceeds will go toward public art installations along the greenway. “We are eager for more citizens to understand the importance of our greenways,” says Clark. “They’re essentially Raleigh’s largest park, connecting people and places from one end of the city to the other.” Sept. 14 | 8:30 a.m.; $20 to race; free to attend festival; parking lot of Grubb Ventures, 5171 Glenwood Avenue; friendsoftheraleighgreenway.org
