Many cities in the United States developed African American business districts during legal U.S. segregation. Here are just a few examples of these great American communties that were once the economic hubs of African American industry and culture:
Birmingham’s Fourth Avenue from 15th to 18th Streets North
Durham’s Fayetteville Street/Hayti District and Parrish Street “Black Wall Street”
Atlanta’ Auburn Avenue
Greensboro’s East Market Street
New York’s Harlem
Savannah’s West Broad Street
Jacksonville’s Ashley Street
Washington, DC’s U Street
Detroit’s Black Bottom and Paradise Valley
Los Angeles’ Central Avenue
During what was called “urban renewal,” thousands of people and businesses were displaced in many of American cities causing many to go out of business. Some scholars trace racial integration to the decline of these African American business districts and businesses
