Urban Renewal Impact: preserving Asheville’s Black History

Enjoy an afternoon of enlightenment as we walk down through history and celebrate what used to be here in Southside.

Urban Renewal wiped out a historically black neighborhood. Today it is called the River Arts District.

But local people know it as “Southside”.

Hear the story as told by Ashevilles Black Historian, Priscilla Robinson.
