Residents of Happy Hill, Winston-Salem s oldest Black neighborhood, talk about area s history while looking ahead to its future

Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University featured the neighborhood in Pride & Dignity from the Hill: A Celebration of the Historic Happy Hill Community in 2010. Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, Happy Hill had a population of 3,204 people, said Cheryl Harry, the executive director of the Triad Cultural Arts Inc. in Winston-Salem. Over the past 25 years, Happy Hill reunions have attracted hundreds of former residents to the Sims Recreation Center where they remembered the people and events that shaped the neighborhood. The 2020 event was canceled because of the pandemic.  These reunions show the pride that residents have for the area and are proud for the nurturing family values that young people enjoyed growing up there, Mayor Allen Joines said. It is very appropriate that we recognize and remember the impact that this historic neighborhood has had on our city, particularly during Black History Month.
