Podcast appearances and mentions of Harvey Gantt

For the first time in 156 years, Clemson University has brought the Will of Thomas Green Clemson back to campus. "Not having the Will here would be like the United States not knowing where the Constitution was, or knowing where it was but not having access to it every day -- the original document," says university historian Otis Pickett. "And now Clemson -- our Constitution, our founding document -- is home in our archives. We can look at it. We can study it. We can look at all the little details of it. We can see all the little important provenance of that document that helps us better understand how to be Clemson." Pickett rejoins The Clemson Dubcast to articulate his dream of having that document on display for everyone to be able to view "and to say: That's the document that started this whole thing." "We are working on a Clemson History Museum," Pickett said. "We would tell the Thomas Green Clemson story. We would tell the military story. Then we have all this amazing stuff from Harvey Gantt and desegregation and the RC Edwards administration; we're going to have a whole room dedicated to just that. A whole room dedicated to the history of the Tiger paw.  "I want this to be a part of the game-day experience: Bring folks up to the museum, get something to drink, sit on the porch and reconnect with other alumni. And bring your children so they can see all this history. Because we're more than just athletics. That's a huge part of our identity, but there's so much more. I want folks to experience that and see that in a tangible manner. And that will familiarize our alumni base with all of our history. So when something comes out that we haven't heard before, it's not as shocking. "That's my vision. That's my dream." Pickett also shares the story of how his and his wife's life changed over the 16 months that their daughter Sadie Margaret lived before passing in June of 2017.

Join us for a special live recording from the ONE building in downtown Greenville, SC, as we celebrated our 300th episode with a live audience! Drs. Milt Lowder, Drew Brannon, and Cory Shaffer reflect on their 7-year journey to 300 episodes and highlight three impactful leaders you might not know, but should: Allyson Felix, the most decorated track and field athlete in history, Jim Elliot, American Christian missionary who became a martyr while attempting to evangelize the Huaorani people of Ecuador, and Harvey Gantt, the first African American student to enroll at Clemson University and former mayor of Charlotte, NC. They reference their stories to illustrate timeless leadership lessons relevant across all industries.

This week's guest is Kimberly Mobley, AIA. She shares with us her journey to becoming a licensed architect: from Clemson to Gantt Huberman, taking her seat at the table, the role architects have in resolving complex issues in our society, and carrying the legacy of her mentor Harvey Gantt.

(^ You can listen to Ledger editor Tony Mecia read this letter to readers by clicking above) Dear Ledger reader:It's the end of 2021, the time of the year when organizations look back and look ahead.At The Ledger, we'll try to spare you the overly sappy reflections, but we do think it's healthy to share with our readers what we've done and where we're heading. We can exist only because of our readers' support, so we think you deserve periodic updates on how our business is doing.The short version: In 2021, we continued growing, with more paying members climbing aboard, more people hearing about us and more efforts on our part to experiment with new things that readers might like. We plan to keep that up in 2022.The longer version: Man, we did a lot. We sent 292 email newsletters, broke a ton of news, highlighted trends and introduced you to fascinating people in our city. We are pretty sure we made you smarter and better-informed.Some of the work we are most proud of includes:Investigations: We shared some ambitious investigative pieces, including in-depth looks at the sexual assault allegations at Myers Park High, an unexpected $10,000 colonoscopy bill from Atrium Health, the decline of the Arts & Science Council and the trend toward replacing pediatricians with nurses in hospital nurseries.New newsletters: We started 2 new newsletters this year — Ways of Life (obituaries); and Transit Time, in conjunction with WFAE and UNC Charlotte's Urban Institute. Not to brag (too much), but Transit Time was named “Best Local Newsletter” by Queen City Nerve and won a national award from our trade group, Local Independent Online News (LION), for “Collaboration of the Year.”Trends: Because we are connected to Charlotte, we clued you in to interesting and important trends before they became widely apparent. Supply chain disruptions? We looked into the causes months before politicians made it a talking point. Book shortages? We told you about them two weeks before the New York Times. Wild bidding wars for houses? We shared Realtors' eye-opening stories a week before The Wall Street Journal had the same idea. And when teens started stocking up on feta cheese in February because of a TikTok video, guess which local newsletter was ON IT — two weeks before The New York Times took note.The Ledger displayed plenty of range in 2021. Clockwise, from upper left: Midnight hockey in Pineville; J.T. Williams, one of N.C.'s first Black surgeons, who became a politician and diplomat; feta cheese supplies running low in February; the prototype of a drive-thru-only Bojangles in Cotswold; analysis of enrollment declines at south Charlotte public schools; a financial salesman who pursued his dream of opening an east Charlotte reptile shop; the bread-only “Sandwiche” from the fictional Breadland restaurant in our April Fools' edition; pickleball action heats up among newly vaccinated Sun City residents.Interesting people: We introduced you to Charlotte people with stories to tell and lessons to share, including an Atrium Covid ICU nurse who experienced the pandemic through different eyes when her grandmother became ill with the virus; newly vaccinated seniors in Sun City who were happy to resume playing pickleball and attending Saturday night '60s dance parties again; a Broadway fan who received a get-well video message from Lin-Manuel Miranda; investors who put money into tech company AvidXchange and waited 20 years to reap big windfalls; and relocated Northerners who play hockey at midnight in Pineville.Interviews: We gave you Q&As with well-known and fascinating Charlotte people, including former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl Jr.; former mayors Sue Myrick and Harvey Gantt; the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art's new executive director, Todd Smith; Charlotte Mecklenburg Library's new CEO, Marcellus “MT” Turner; and basketball broadcast analyst Jay Bilas.Growth and development: The story of Charlotte is the story of growth, and we have continued to offer unparalleled and authoritative local coverage of this important topic — from insights on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan; to development trends in Sugar Creek, NoDa, west Charlotte, Ballantyne, SouthPark and University City; to repeated scoops on land deals and development plans and, of course, our popular monthly listing of Charlotte's rezoning petitions

Growing up in the segregated South, Harvey’s life experiences and his perspective on the progress we have - and haven’t - made are both a severe reality check, and a beacon of hope.

Jack Maddox recently phoned his parents and told them they didn't have to pay out-of-state tuition to Clemson this semester: Dabo Swinney awarded the former walk-on a scholarship. Maddox, who is from Boston, tells the story of how he ended up at Clemson. His mother, a high-school history teacher in Boston, has found a way to attend every Clemson home game during his college career. Vernon Burton, a distinguished history professor at Clemson, looks back at the captivating story of Harvey Gantt's admission to the school in 1963. What was called "Integration with Dignity" came after a lengthy battle in the courts and much controversy, and Burton sifts through the finer points of that chapter. Burton also weighs in on the recent trend of tearing down monuments and renaming buildings.

This is a recut version of the very first episode of SouthBound, which we put into the world on Nov. 15, 2017. Our guest for this first episode was Harvey Gantt, a longtime pioneer in civil rights in the Carolinas.

It's the battle of the Harveys this week as we explore two black men born in the 1940s, each leaving their own mark on Charlotte's history. We'll discuss great parenting styles, questionable transportation solutions, and a court appointed college education. Along the way, we'll ask the important questions: Do ghosts exist? Does Harvey Gantt blame Michael Jordan for his Senate loss in the 90s? What do you do with six doctorates anyway? We'll touch on the first black students at Clemson, Obama's political roots, and the Mecklenburg County seal's official owner.

On the B-side of The Last Dance Aftershow, Sam and David call up Pulitzer Prize winning writer and critic-at-large for the New York Times, Wesley Morris! They talk about Jordan's tepid endorsement of Harvey Gantt, the infamous Republicans buy sneakers, too line, who the NBA mustache GOAT is, Jordan and Spike Lee's relationship, nostalgia for Adrian Lyne pictures, and the future of sports movies.

Still no sports yet, but the show goes on! JP and Hector talk about episodes 5 and 6 of "The Last Dance," including Isiah Thomas' snub from the Dream Team. Was it all on Jordan or was it a team decision? Also, Jordan's faults start to show in the form of his gambling and his refusal to endorse politician Harvey Gantt against well-known racist Jesse Helms. Is he in the right to stay out of the political realm, or is he trying to shape history to avoid looking like a bad person? Afterward, we talk about recent NBA news of practice reopening and the idea of Kevin Durant returning to the Nets if the season resumes. Also, does the shutdown help the Warriors odds of getting Giannis Antetokounmpo? We finish with discussing the Cowboys' 2020 schedule which released during the recording. If we get to see a full NFL season, we think the Cowboys have a good chance of bouncing back. Thanks again for listening! Subscribe, share, and send us questions.

North Carolina continues to make big political moves, especially as the State Supreme Court overturned legislative and Congressional gerrymanders.

In this podcast, Pierce talks about his earliest experiences in politics as he helped his father volunteer for Harvey Gantt vs Jesse Helms and he talks about his father life and subsequent battle with ALS motivated him to run for office. Pierce has a very positive vision for the future and is also very aware of the political situation in North Carolina.

On this month's episode we're joined by Lancaster University's politics lecturer Richard Johnson (@richardmarcj) to discuss five pioneering black politicians who ran for election in the decades before Barack Obama's ascension to the White House in 2008: Ed Brooke, Tom Bradley, Douglas Wilder, Harvey Gantt, and Carol Moseley Braun.   The podcast begins with a clip of Richard's interview with Braun in which she discusses her views on race and politics.   Throughout the discussion Richard reflects on whether Obama was a political unicorn with his appeal to white and black audiences; how these five pioneers navigated the choppy waters of racial politics and what their candidacies tell us about the country in wich they were running; and finally, whether their candidacies - and, in some cases, spells in office - were able to inspire change in American society.   Thanks again for listening, we'll be back next month, discussing barbeque diplomacy and Vietnam (all will be explained).   Cheers, Mark and Malcolm Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the fourth edition of the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast. Today’s show is the live recording of the Creative Mornings Charlotte event from Friday, April 21, when Matt Olin spoke with Harvey Gantt about the global theme of “beyond” in front of more than 700 creatives at Camp North End. It’s no exaggeration to say that Harvey Gantt is one of the most important names in Charlotte’s history. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Harvey Gantt founded Gantt Huberman Architects in 1971, winning multiple awards for project throughout the city. In 1983, Gantt became the city’s first African American mayor, and served two consecutive terms. He has also served on the boards of numerous cultural, civic and business organizations. Mr. Gantt’s legacy will forever be preserved as the former Afro-American Cultural Center renamed itself in Gantt’s honor in 2009. Remember, the next Creative Mornings Charlotte event will be held Friday, May 12 at Warehouse 242, and feature WFAE’s Nick De La Canal as the speaker on the global theme of serendipity.

Currently the executive director of Queen City Forward, Texas native Amy Chiou has a long career in politics, having worked on the election campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and former Charlotte mayor Anthony Foxx. Amy has also shown an affinity for the entrepreneurial, having founded the voting information app “Ballot”, as well as being a part owner of the women’s apparel company “Trophies are for Winners.” Remember, the next Creative Mornings Charlotte event will be held Friday, April 21 at Camp North End off of Statesville Ave., and feature former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt as the featured speaker. Because of the size of Camp North End, there will be no limit on guests, no registration or waitlist.

We welcomed Blake Bourne of Charlotte Bridge Home to talk about his organization and what it does for veterans and their families to help them adjust to civilian life. We also learned about Harvey Gantt and Supportive Guy taught us about the joy of Christmastown, USA.

Though Mr. Gantt lost his bid for a third Mayoral term to Sue Myrick in 1987, he was back on the campaign trail three years later, to take a leading role in one of the most talked-about and followed races of 1990. Mr. Gantt’s bid to unseat the four-term incumbent Republican Senator Jesse Helms became an international news story.

Episode one of Biographical Conversations with Harvey Gantt traces the future Charlotte mayor’s path from his childhood in Charleston, SC, to his solo integration of Clemson University, at the age of 20, in January 1963.

Episode two of Biographical Conversations with Harvey Gantt explores the political path that led him to become a City Council member and the Mayor of Charlotte.
