| Description |
From original website description: The Southside neighborhood has existed for nearly as long as Greensboro itself, and has changed along with the city. This neighborhood, which began as an upperclass area, has born witness to Reconstruction, integration, as well as various reinventions. The history of Southside in many ways is a microcosm of the history of the South itself, ebbing and flowing with the tide of the region. Greensboro's Southside neighborhood is one of the oldest areas of the city and a registered Historic District in Guilford County. This tour focuses on the neighborhood’s evolution from the late 19th century, when Southside was an economically diverse neighborhood that bordered an industrial area, to its present state as a middle class community that is driven by a service economy. You will explore the diversity of one of Greensboro’s earliest suburbs and the changes it has witnessed culminating in its attempted return to its roots. On this tour you will see: - Southside Fire Station #4, which employed one of the first fire crews made up entirely of African Americans - The Magnolia House Motel, a Jim Crow-era hotel patronized by Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Ray Charles, and others - Site of The Caldwell School, an area of contention during integration |

| Notes | The "Walking through Greensboro's past" website was created in Fall 2006 as a graduate student class project at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Its purpose was to bring real-world meaning to history readings and lectures and to give students a chance to interpret southern history for the public. The project is a result of an asssignment by Dr. Peter Carmichael, Associate Professor of History, for HIS/IAR 627: Museum and Historic Site Interpretation. Because of the public value of the resources created by the students, the project website is now maintained by the Digital Projects office of the Univerisity Libraries. However, the website resources are entirely student-created, and the University Libraries makes no claim as to the accuracy of the views or information presented herein. |
