These funds will be used specifically for preserving threatened landmarks of African American heritage, such as schools, churches, lodges, businesses or homes of prominent Black leaders. \u201cHistorically African American neighborhoods, such as those built for middle-class Blacks between WWII and the passage of the Fair Housing Act, as well as Mid-century Modern homes and other landmarks of the state\u2019s first generation of registered Black architects, are now particularly vulnerable to new development in North Carolina\u2019s larger cities,\u201d says Patterson. \u201cPNC has recognized and preserved sites of Black history for decades, so this isn\u2019t a new initiative as much as it\u2019s establishing that this is a priority for us. This targeted funding will enable PNC to proactively seek out opportunities, as well as act quickly in case of emergency. The need is immediate, as both urban development and rural disinvestment threaten many buildings with African American associations.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47964\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47964\" class=\"wp-image-47964\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC-810x516.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Preservation-NC-Young-Mens-Institute-Cultural-Center-Asheville.-Built-by-George-Vandebilt-in-1892-1893.-Photo-courtesy-of-Preservation-NC-1140x726.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47964\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">YMI Cultural Center, Asheville.
