This was 1921 not 1821. Kinda shocking.


Why is this shocking? Blacks were still enslaved in 1821. This wouldn't even have existed back then.

You realize blacks owned businesses, including engaging in slave trade, in the US during slavery?

Point was the barbaric nature and unmitigated invasion and demolition of an entire neighborhood seems implausible in the 20th century.
