Glad they added Black Bottom, too. Named for the rich, black soil where Indigenous people and French settlers farmed. It became a majority Black neighborhood due to the Great Migration and redlining. My grandmother went to Miller High School in Black Bottom.
A lot of black neighborhoods were demolished for highways, and big businesses. A lot were burned down, and the ones that remain today are being gentrified. It is disgusting. Not to mention redlining to keep black families out of certain areas. Truly gross.
I lived in NYC for 32 years and watched all my black American neighbors slowly disappear from the neighborhoods. I moved back south and honestly feel at home again. A lot of us are leaving blue states and making blue cities in the south.
Don’t nobody want to talk about this though. Yt Don’t wanna acknowledge this though. The US government don’t want to acknowledge this though. We can’t even imagine how these areas would have developed if left alone. I will be glad when they are swept off the land like the books ass.
@1:46 Whatupdoe! I’m in Muskegon Heights (The Heights is like a itty-bitty Detroit, or they like to think so! LOL), but #Detroiter4Life! all day erryday
^Which are gonna lose their federal funding -the HBCU's- under Dump Administration. He's already withholding grants from students in University of ST.Thomas. HBCU students can't be far off from having their funding messed with.

There are countless neighborhoods throughout the nation including DC.

@10:19 AM Whatupdoe! Yes, Black Bottom had so many businesses that thrived until "them" people couldn't stand it. Shameful! #Detroiter4Life

Not only do they not want to talk about it, they want to erase it from the history books!
Thank goodness for HBCUs.

And they really thought we forgot. They thought this was swept under the rug. WOW.
You're right, but he can hold onto that money. They don't want that money if it means they have to hide our history.
That won't stop us. Not one bit.
