Look at how the Perkins Road overpass area has been able to throw wrenches because they know this.

Yup, and they have today's communication methods, as well as some clout, to do this.

Back in the 60s, these black owned businesses / residents didn't have either of those.

I often wonder if they had been able to get the project stalled, when the feds cancelled the Riverfront Expressway for historical reasons, if they would have cancelled the Claiborne Elevated for the same.
