We will sing a small selection of upbeat songs to celebrate the Historic Lincoln Park and its community. It’s a special park that Eric Atkins has rightly described as “a place whose legacy has shaped generations and still holds a powerful place in Chattanooga’s story." Lincoln Park opened in 1918 and was once a community hub for the city and African American families across the whole region, featuring Negro League baseball, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, lighted fields, a ferris wheel, and more. A 2020 memorandum with the City of Chattanooga promised to bring certain features of the park back to life. Residents are still waiting for the promise to be fulfilled.
