Your first journey within the app is an immersive GPS-based experience of Charlotte’s Brooklyn neighborhood, once the largest and most vibrant Black community in the Carolinas.
With KnowCLT, you can delve into the story of Brooklyn either on foot in Second Ward or from your home. The experience recounts Brooklyn’s history through narration, photos, poetry, and the voices of former residents. When touring on foot, you can choose your own path, exploring seven historic sites that come alive through augmented reality. Did you know that Brooklyn had the city’s first public library for Black Charlotteans? Hold your phone up to the site where the library once stood and see Brevard Street Library appear on your screen, as it once was.
Whether you are living in Charlotte, visiting, or researching from afar, KnowCLT offers a variety of ways to immerse yourself in Charlotte’s history.

Ratings and Reviews
App
This app was super informative and a cool way for me to share our history with my children as we did the the Brooklyn Map together. Thank you!
Shallow, safe story-telling
Very shallow as a history. No names named of the perpetrators, only the victims.
Who were the “slumlords”, who profited from demolition? What about the “block busting” that followed which caused more segregation from white flight? Who were the politicians that approved this? Whom did they represent? How much of Brooklyn was owner-occupied? What was the average rent? In today’s dollars? Was new and better housing even available during demolition that was affordable?
Easy to use!
Even for me, not a great computer person! Great job!
