DoRaleighMonday in Raleigh: Where History, Community, and Green Dreams Collide
Happy Monday, Raleigh! While some cities ease into the week with a slow drip of coffee and to-do lists, here in the capital of North Carolina, we’re jumping in with purpose, pride, and a powerful sense of community.
Today’s calendar isn’t just a collection of meetings—it’s a reflection of Raleigh’s heartbeat. Let’s take a look at what’s happening and why you should care.
Preserving Raleigh’s Black Churches
10:30 a.m. • Community & Workshops
At the intersection of history and hope stands a sacred thread that weaves through Raleigh’s story—its Black churches. These aren’t just places of worship; they are living archives of resilience, civil rights organizing, music, and culture.
This morning, join community leaders, historians, and citizens as we come together to ensure these cornerstones of the Black community are preserved not just in memory, but in stone, spirit, and significance.
Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a curious newcomer, this workshop is a chance to listen, learn, and lend your voice to the future of Raleigh’s cultural landscape.
Help Plan the Future Forestville Road Park!
5:00 p.m. • Community Planning
From sacred spaces to green spaces—your voice matters in shaping what’s next for our city. This evening, we turn our attention to Forestville Road, where plans are blossoming for a new park.
How should the space look? What amenities should it include? Should it be a haven for quiet walks, an energetic playground, a farmers’ market hub, or something else entirely? The city wants your ideas, your needs, and your vision.
Grab your neighbors, your kids, your sketchpad—whatever inspires you—and join the conversation. Let’s turn public input into public paradise.
This is just a snapshot of #MondayInRaleigh, but it captures something essential: in Raleigh, government isn’t just happening to us—it’s happening with us.
