Great aerial shot, John! For those that don’t know, this view captures 5 remnants of Raleigh’s once thriving black community. Just peeking up in the foreground is the home of Dr. Manassa T. Pope, a prominent leader in the early 20th century (http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/raleigh/pop.htm). Just above that is the Lincoln Theater, once one of Raleigh’s two segregated black movie houses; above that is Prince Hall Mason’s Lodge (ca 1907), and to its right is Tupper Memorial Baptist Church (originally built ca 1865). The wide swath through the center of the photo is what’s left of Stronach’s Alley, one of many shotgun house-lined alleys that once proliferated in downtown Raleigh.
