Abstract

The purpose of this project is to provide an account about the closing of the Burrell Nursing Center in 2002. Formerly Burrell Memorial Hospital, the building served the black community of Roanoke, VA for fifty years. Similarities and contrasts exist between the closing of this historic institution and the closing of the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church in 1968. From the interviews and documents readers will gain a sense of this history and some of the tensions involved in these closings, and gain an insight into reflections of First Reunion of the Central Jurisdiction, held in Atlanta GA, August 27-29, 2004.
