Dianne Wyche shares her memories of the Brooklyn neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina also known as Second Ward. She recalls her father Dr. Rudolph Wyche and his medical practice in Brooklyn, including the types of surgeries he would perform, how he was paid, accompanying him on house calls, and how urban renewal affected Dr. Wyche's business. Ms. Wyche also discusses her memories of Bishop Daddy Grace, the leader of the United House of Prayer for All People, which had a strong presence in Second Ward, and the House of Prayer convocation parade.
