All conditions were met, and the Charlotte Carnegie Library opened in an imposing classical building on July 2, 1903. The 1903 state charter also required that a library be opened for the disenfranchised African-American population of Charlotte. This was completed in 1905 with the opening of the Brevard Street Library for Negroes, an independent library in Brooklyn, a historically black area of Charlotte, on the corner of Brevard and East Second Streets (now Martin Luther King Boulevard).<a href="#cite_note-cmstory.org-339">[336]</a> The Brevard Street Library was the first library for African Americans in the state of North Carolina,<a href="#cite_note-cmstory.org-339">[336]</a> and some sources say in the southeast.<a href="#cite_note-charmeck.org_Web_Site-340">[337]</a> The library was closed in 1961 when the Brooklyn neighborhood in Second Ward was redeveloped, but its role as a cultural center for African-Americans in Charlotte is continued by the Beatties Ford and West Boulevard branches of the library system, as well as by Charlotte's African-American Cultural Center. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sports">Sports</h2>[<a
