CRN: Buried in the Bitter Waters

We’ve long known about horrific episodes of lynching in the South, but the story of widespread racial cleansing above and below the Mason-Dixon line has remained almost entirely unknown. Time after time in the period between Reconstruction and the 1920’s, whites banded together to drive out blacks in their midst.G,V They burned and killed indiscriminately and drove thousands from their homes, sweeping entire counties clear of anyone with dark skin. Many of these areas remain virtually all-white to this day.

Pulitzer Prize winning author Elliot Jaspin has spent the past ten years documenting the attempted genocides of America, resulting in his new book Buried in the Bitter Waters. Jaspin joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about his work.

CRN: Sally Thomas gives her take on the NGIC land-swap deal

Sally Thomas is one of six members of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, and the lone vote against a resolution in May of 2006 to approve a boundary adjustment to pull thirty acres into the growth area and remove about eighty acres from the Pantops Development Area. The land, owned by developer Wendell Wood, would be sold to the National Ground Intelligence Center for use in their expansion in Albemarle County.

CRN: Crozet resident Tom Loach on the master planning process

Crozet resident Tom Loach joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to give an update on the twenty-year Crozet Master Plan and its population estimates. Loach worked on the committee that recommended the master plan to the Board of Supervisors, which they approved in December 2004. However, since the 2,275 home Old Trail Village
development was approved in late 2005, Loach has been asking questions about whether new developments approved in Crozet were putting it on track to exceed the build-out population of 12,000 people anticipated by the plan.

In January 2006, the Board of Supervisors accepted a staff calculation that established a “theoretical ultimate build-out” population for the Crozet growth area closer to 24,000 which might be reached some point after 2024. Loach led a petition drive which garnered over 1,300 signatures from residents who wanted to cap Crozet’s future population at 12,000. Over the past two years he has sought information from the County related to the population estimates and he recently received documents from Albemarle County as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. In the interview, he describes the documents he says supports the community’s belief that the planning effort described a maximum ideal population of
12,000 in Crozet
