Get-Together on Cleveland Ave. Former and current residents gather for first reunion BY LAYI.A FARMER THE CHRONIC! E At a glance, the Cleveland Avenue Homes neighborhood is far from affluent, but current and for mer residents of the public housing community say it was rich in the ways that mat tered: full of caring individu als, neighbors who shared what they had and did what they could for each other. It is for this reason that S. Wayne Patterson, a product of Cleveland Avenue Homes, says he felt compelled to stage the community's first reunion on Sept. 17. Patterson, an attorney and president of the local NAACP chapter, enlisted the help of a handful of local companies to stage the reunion, which served as an expanded version of the back to school giveaway he has helped longtime Cleveland resident Mattie Young to stage for several years. "So many times, people have been taxed and I just wanted to give back to the community," said the UNC Charlotte alumnus. "I just want the kids to know that even though you grew up in the projects, you still can be a doctor, a lawyer - I'm a prime example." Young, who leads the Cleveland Avenue Homes Thirty-plus year residents (front row, from left): Viola Jones, Frances Gray, Ruby McDaniel and (back row, from left): Mattie Young, Dorothy Nevilles and Adeline Brabham. Aldine Ingram Jr. with his wife Sandra and son Aldine III. . ? Residents Council, is a 40 year resident of the Cleveland community. She has held the giveaway for school children for nearly two decades. "1 do it every year, but this is special because it's a reunion, bringing people back together," she remarked. "Some people haven't been here in over 20 years and they came." Aldine Ingram Jr., the founding pastor of Steadfast Life Changing Ministries in Winston-Salem, brought his wife and 19 year-old son, Aldine III, back to the place where he spent his childhood. "This is a part of who I am - I wouldn't be who I am now if it wasn't for this," said the father of four. "...This place really was designed to help people like me and my family, to give us a start so we can move to other levels." He remembers his days as a youngster in Cleveland fondly.
