It s about access | Faith leaders help vaccinate more than 880 people in East Knoxville

People look at their pastors, look at the churches, their church families as ways of supporting their community, said Tiki Dixon, a pastor at Oak Grove AME Zion Church. Once those churches say yes, we ll do it, that flows down through the community. Plus, Dr. Finch said they were intentional about some of the volunteers they recruited.  We re building trust by going into the community and having people that are doing the needle in the arm that look like us, she said. If we create trusted messengers across the city and across the state, then we can move the needle way on the other side of people getting their vaccinations.

Knoxville s only Black mayor was forced from his home by urban removal

Daniel Brown has always had an affinity for Dr. Walter Hardy Park in East Knoxville. He says it feels like home. It should. Brown’s family was forced out of their home before it was acquired and torn down by the city in the late 1960s as part of the sweeping urban removal program that displaced thousands, mostly for civic projects and new infrastructure. After the site sat vacant for nearly two decades, the city built the park, dedicated to local Black physicians, where his family home once stood. Those memories fill Brown’s mind, but the former interim mayor and two-term city councilman pays them little attention. He told Knox News recently he’s just happy action is being taken to right the wrong. It’s a great step in the right direction, he said.
