The Lonsdale Neighborhood
Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.
Isaiah 58:12
Lonsdale is an urban neighborhood in North Knoxville, Tennessee. Today it is primarily comprised of Guatemalan immigrants, African Americans, and African refugees. Though it has a deep history of racism, the neighborhood has become more unified by community efforts such as gardening, the Lonsdale market, and Light Up Lonsdale.
For more information about Lonsdale or ways to be involved in the neighborhood as a whole, check out our initiative We Love Lonsdale .
