Andrea Clark is an African-American photographer living in Asheville, North Carolina. She is best known for her black and white photographs that document Asheville's East End community taken around 1968 -1971.[1] In 2020 Clark was awarded the Sondley Award by the Historic Resources Commission of Asheville and Buncombe County.[2]
"Andrea Clark's photographs capture the full spectrum of community life in Asheville's East End in 1970. The images portray a neighborhood with bustling business and street life, gardens where people grew their own food, and sidewalks on which children played under the watchful eyes of elders."[3]
The East End had been a vibrant black community since the 1880s but by 1978 urban renewal had razed much of it and families were relocated to other neighborhoods.
