Lincoln Park:
Uptown: near the intersection of Carrollton Avenue and Earhart Boulevard.
In 1890s there was a man named André Porée, a drayman, a keeper of mules and wagons, chiefly for hauling garbage. He stabled his mules in a large open city block uptown. This place also had become a gathering place for the city’s Negroes. At this time the post-Civil War Jim Crow in the city began. One of the first acts was to prohibit the Negroes from gathering in any public park. This meant for instance the end of the open Sunday gathering of Negroes for worship and celebration, music and dance in Congo Square. This was not the end of all gathering, because the Sunday festivities moved to the open place where Porée kept his animals and wagons. In the 1890s the people were flocking in. Porée noticed the size of the crowds and the business being done by those who set up stands and wagons to sell food and refreshments.
Porée decided to invest his money in the future of the area. He set up an amusement ground with a main hall containing several smaller halls. It became a big success. He named it Lincoln Park in honor of the emancipator. For dances he hired a band and it’s said this was Buddy Bolden’s band.
The park opened in 1902 and remained open until about 1930
