This course will focus on the legal, political, and social history of Charlottesville in order to develop a broader account of how race, law, land use, and economic development intersect in a small southern town. The physical development of Charlottesville from colonial to present times will be discussed, as will subjects such as residential racial segregation, redevelopment, urban renewal, school desegregation, and citycounty conflicts.
