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.
