Join Sustain Charlotte in McCrorey Heights for a powerful neighborhood walk led by resident volunteers who know and love their community. We’ll explore this vibrant, historic neighborhood—long home to influential Black leaders and families who have shaped Charlotte’s story.

You’ll learn how the construction of I-77 more than 50 years ago cut the neighborhood off from Uptown, and why it now faces renewed threats from the planned I-77 South toll lanes. Hear directly from residents about how they’re organizing to protect their community and advance a more equitable future.
