Description

In this group interview, Dorothy Shipman, Walter "Buck" Kennedy, and Mary S. McGill share their memories of the Brooklyn neighborhood of Charlotte, also known as Second Ward, as well as their experiences with Friendship Missionary Baptist Church. The interviewees discuss economic conditions in Brooklyn, businesses such as the Lincoln Theater, and how urban renewal in the 1960s prompted many of Brooklyn's residents to move to west Charlotte. All three interviewees joined Friendship Missionary Baptist Church between the late 1940s to early 1950s, and describe their involvement in church activities including the choir and the Baptist Training Union.
