Black people have had lands taken from us in the so-called Parramore Area every year since 1920 by use of various racially disparate means, primarily redlining!
The records are very accurate that show insidious action by elected and appointed officials to deprive African American business owners of opportunities, equal access to financing that egocentric ethnic group business persons have had access to.
