I remember My grandfather used to take me to Joe’s barbershop to get my haircut as a kid. I will always remember the unity as a community back in those days.

What happened to it??? I also looked up black Wall Street which was sad 😭

It’s still here. It has expanded into the metropolitan area. It never got burned down. That’s why Columbia South Carolina has a huge black middle-class upper class.
