"Highways Ruined Black Communities And Caused Urban Disparity "

*Mind Blown*

I had no idea there are/were efforts put in place to undermine & destroy the black community by reducing transit opportunities & limiting access to those communities in ways that to this day have affected the development of economies.

There were laws and policies in place to limit black transit that have affected commute and ease of commerce in ways that are still being seen today. MARTA in Atlanta sucks. In Baltimore many areas are being prevented from expanding transit in black communities. In Los Angeles they turned affluent black neighborhoods in to slums on purpose.
