Few books have shifted my understanding of Black history and urban life as profoundly as Joe William Trotter Jr.’s Building the Black City: The Transformation of American Life.
So interesting! Having moved into a predominantly Black neighborhood in the early 1980s, I watched many Black businesses disappear by the 2000s as the area became gentrified. Every gain seems to always include a loss too.
Excellent article, as always.

Sadly Patricia, yes. You are spot on in your observation.
This was a fascinating article. I'm particularly grateful for the expanding knowledge on the impact of Seneca Village among Black property values.
Thanks, your review was very insightful 👍🏿 definitely have read it!
