1965 Lexington ”Urban Renewal” and the Women of MLKjr Neighborhood

Public Group active 9 years, 10 months ago

This group is focusing on the 1965 urban renewal project that was rejected by the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood Association. We plan to research the issues surrounding this action and the role of women in this decision. Why was the plan rejected? How did it affect the community? Who was in favor of it? Against it? Did the decision result from or impact civil rights issues of the day? Who were the women involved and did the neighborhood’s civic leaders expect a certain role for them to play in the process?

    Dr. Cate Fosl emphasizes in her biography of Louisville activist Anne Braden (SUBVERSIVE SOUTHERNER, 2002), a generational split between the “Old Left” (of the 1930s and ’40s) and the “New Left” which emerged in the 1960s and ’70s as a sectarian and fragmented effort by diverse groups. Did you find this model in your research […]

    Our group has recently found information on the urban renewal era of Lexington that affected different areas of the city, particularly the East End. Our research has led us to find the minutes of the Lexington-Fayette City-County urban planning commission meetings from 1928-1974.
