Chapel Hill
Earlier this evening the first meeting of Chapel Hill 2020’s
leadership team was held. So far there seems to have been much confusion on how
the whole planning process will work, so I’m going to try to clear that
muddiness up with all my newfound knowledge.
Two of the 3 mayoral candidates and all 9 council candidates are in attendance. The live blogging starts now...
As many of you know, the Chapel Hill 2020 planning process
is getting underway. This new Comprehensive Plan for Chapel Hill will affect you—the roads you drive on, the places you work, the parks you
visit, etc. so it’s important that you share your perspective to help the town
craft the best vision possible. The more perspectives included in the plan, the
more accurately the plan will reflect our community’s diversity, so be sure to
contribute!
The town has already publicized seven different ways to get
involved. You shouldn’t feel limited by this list, but it serves as a great
jumping off point:
From the Town of Carrboro:
50th Anniversary Commemoration of Vickers v Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools
This landmark civil rights case was rendered from the United States Federal Court in August of 1961. The case changed the course of school integration in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro District and served as a model for antidiscrimination in schools within North Carolina and across the Southeastern United States.
The program will salute the courage exhibited by Carrboro native Stanley Vickers, his parents, and a multi-racial community support system that took a bold stand for equity and justice a half-century ago.
