Reinstate Carver Recreation Center Hours

The Carver Recreation Center was and always has been a venue for the black community of Charlottesville to rent for private dances, social affairs, parties, wedding receptions, etc. These events could start as early as 4:00 PM or as late as 10:00 PM. Carver is housed in the historic Jefferson School, which at one time as the only all Black school in Charlottesville. It has been renovated, a small part preserved, but many new things have been added. i.e., Clinic, daycare, roller skating, new gym, etc. In doing this the hours were changed, they are 6:00-12:00 midnight. We would like to see the hours put back to what they have always been, enable to continue to accomodate a community that has lost so much, and never to be able to regain it.
