WHERE ARE WE IN CLT? Last Friday, CreativeMornings/Charlotte had the privilege of holding the event in historic Biddle Memorial Hall on the campus of Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte's only HCBU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). Built in 1884, Biddle Hall has served the university as classroom space, a theater, a library and staff offices in its 135-year history. It earned the honor of placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
