These historic places are being destroyed by gentrification and developers and at an alarming rate; I've seen it firsthand.

There is an unspoken knowledge in the south that Black People did and do all the work. They built everything you see, did all the farm work, did all the skilled trades, were and are the cooks, maids, and nannies for the white households.

They did all of this while raising their own families and building their own communities with parallel institutions (banks, schools, shops) and professions (doctors, lawyers, engineers).

There is a wealthy, advanced country built by people of African descent; It's called the United States of America.
