Extractions: Winston-Salem has never been blessed with the geography that drives many cities to success. It doesn't have a port. It's not on a big river or along the central rail line. What it lacked in these departments it made up for with a culture based on shrewd business dealings and an entrepreneurial spirit. And the city rode those assets for all they were worth. Now, in a new century, as the city and county have completed one business cycle and moved to the next, the question is simple: Can they do it again?

Map #1 - Charlotte, North Carolina Metropolitan Area Municipalities Map #2 - Charlotte, North Carolina Metropolitan Area African American Population Segregation levels for African Americans are quite low in Charlotte compared to other U.S. metropolitan areas, in part due to the clustered pattern of racial populations. African Americans in the city of Charlotte live mostly in the northern and western sections of the city, while whites tend to live mostly in the south and east. Charlotte the city is much more segregated than the region as a whole. And though there is spatial variance for African Americans in the Charlotte region that may minimize distances to opportunity structures in the region, poverty and lower housing values intersect most of the clustered African American neighborhoods in the region.

Extractions: Part 2 In the British North America and later the United States, antislavery sentiment flourished during the revolutionary period, but faded slightly by the beginning of the early 19th century. The call to end human bondage compelled freed African Americans and Quakers to form abolition societies such as the American Anti-Slavery Society and the New England Anti-Slavery Society in the North. Moreover, churches such as African Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, Presbyterian, and Methodist as well as Black fraternal organizations and social clubs played key roles in calling for emancipation and human rights. The antislavery movement played a primary role in assisting runaways to freedom. Abolitionists were crucial to the operations of the underground, but not all of them participated in or sanctioned its activities. Occasionally, African American and White abolitionists worked jointly to aid the runaway. Yet for the most part, the African American abolitionist played a key role in underground activities. Since most African American abolitionists were former bondsmen, they usually took a personal interest in helping loved ones or anyone who wanted to gain freedom. Their work contributed to the success of the Underground Railroad. In 1831, the popularity of the railroad train coupled with legendary flights of certain runaways introduced the name for the underground movement. Supposedly, the term Underground Railroad originated when an enslaved runaway, Tice Davids, fled from Kentucky and may have taken refuge with John Rankin, a White abolitionist, in Ripley, Ohio. Determined to retrieve his property, the owner chased Davids to the Ohio River, but Davids suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving his owner bewildered and wondering if the slave had "gone off on some underground road." The success of Davids' escape soon spread among the enslaved on southern plantations (Stein 1981: 5þ10; Hamilton 1993: 53-56).

Extractions: Triangle Geography Lesson North Carolina is called the " Old North State ," a reference that originated with the division of the Carolinas in 1710. It was one of the original thirteen colonies. With 52,660 square miles , North Carolina now has 6.5 million residents. North Carolinians are sometimes called " Tar Heels ," a nickname that dates back to pre-Revolutionary days when tar, pitch and turpentine were extracted from native pine forests for British naval stores. Twenty-five miles from the Virginia border, the Triangle is located in the Piedmonta geographic foothills region lying between mountains and coastal plains. The Triangle is 140 miles from the Appalachians and 130 miles from the coast. Our landscape is characterized by hardwood and evergreen forests, hills, meandering rivers and streams, and a wide variety of soils ranging from sand to rocks to red clay. The term "Triangle" was first coined to refer to an area anchored by three major universities: Duke, UNC-CH and NCSU
