Description

Interview of Yvonne Evans who was born in New York but her family quickly moved back to her father’s hometown of Charleston when she was a baby. Mrs. Evans has lived her entire life in the Harleston Village neighborhood of the city, growing up on Queen Street, attending the Cathedral School, Bishop England High School and then the College of Charleston. She talks about her childhood, shopping on King Street, and biking everywhere. After marrying and starting a family, Mrs. Evans returned to the College of Charleston for a degree in Business Administration. She became active in a local “Town and Gown” committee designed to improve relations between the campus and the adjoining neighborhood of Harleston Village. This spurred her to run for Charleston City Council where she represented District 8 for 20 years, serving from 1999-2009. During her time on city council, she worked on issues related to tourism, the arts, and city planning initiatives. Recorded as part of HCF's "Changing Neighborhoods" series, made possible by a grant from the Employees Community Fund of The Boeing Company. Date of interview: October 22, 2018. Interviewed by Katherine Pemberton (HCF) at a location on Bull Street.
