SPICE: A History of Affordable Housing - Case Study: Charlotte

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 4 Nisan 5785

11:00 AM - 1:00 PMTemple Beth El

Community historian Dr. Tom Hanchett returns to SPICE to talk about his timely new UNC Press book, "A History of Affordable Housing - Case Study: Charlotte." From the earliest public housing, to the tax credits and trust funds of today, we’ll explore the backstory of one of America’s most pressing issues. 

Rabbi Knight will complement this discussion by examining the values and principles of affordable housing through the lens of Jewish tradition. Discover how ancient teachings can guide us in addressing today’s housing challenges, promoting community support, and fostering equitable living conditions.

Enjoy a build-your-own taco bar for lunch, featuring fish, chicken, ground beef, sour cream, guacamole, queso, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, tortilla chips, taco shells, soft tortillas, rice, black beans, and churros for dessert!

Tom Hanchett earned degrees at Cornell, University of Chicago and UNC Chapel Hill. He’s best known for his history book about Charlotte entitled Sorting Out the New South City. Charlotte Magazine calls him “Charlotte’s Dr. History” and named him a 2015 Charlottean of the Year. Find his writings on history, culture and food here.
