I think TheHaraharian would agree that when the Interstate system plowed through North and South Claiborne in the early "60's it was primarily white families which were relocated.

I don’t know that, but I know that stretch runs through Treme which is labeled historically black.
It’s not a small area. Stretch of several miles, so it’s not a single neighborhood.

The Claiborne expressway runs through the Tulane/Gravier neighborhood, Treme, and the Seventh Ward, all of which I believe are historically black neighborhoods.
