"The East End had been a vibrant black community since the 1880s, although African American presence there dates back to the earliest times of slavery in western North Carolina. The neighborhood flourished through the first half of the twentieth century, perhaps even as the practices of urban renewal began in the city in the 1950s. By 1978, urban renewal had razed much of this once strong family of neighbors. Fortunately, Andrea Clark had taken intimate portraits of local life in 1970, before the neighborhood disappeared. Few knew of this collection of photographs, until "Twilight of a Neighborhood." -- Page 4 of "About Twilight of a neighborhood : Asheville's East End, 1970" by Harlan Joel Gradin.Includes interviews about urban renewal in Asheville's East End during the 1970s.
