Oscarville was a small town in the county of Forsyth, in the state of Georgia. In 1912, the white population drove the black population out of Oscarville with threats and violence. This was not the first time that Oscarville had been the site of racial violence. In the 1830’s, the white population forcibly removed Cherokee farmers from their properties, and forced the Cherokees away from Oscarville forever.

In 1912, Forsyth County forced its Black residents out and stayed nearly all-white for 75 years. Soon, a marker will memorialize the lynching that started it all. https://www.11alive.com/article/news/investigations/the-reveal/forsyth-county-lynching-memorial-to-go-up/85-e9e16326-36d5-4c3b-abfd-e76f9b0a793a

The Interstate Highway System was one of America's most revolutionary infrastructure projects. It also destroyed urban neighborhoods across the nation. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO The 48,000 miles of interstate highway that would be paved across the country during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s were a godsend for many rural communities. But those highways also gutted many cities, with whole neighborhoods torn down or isolated by huge interchanges and wide ribbons of asphalt. Wealthier residents fled to the suburbs, using the highways to commute back in by car. That drained the cities' tax bases and hastened their decline. So why did cities help build the expressways that would so profoundly decimate them? The answer involves a mix of self-interested industry groups, design choices made by people far away, a lack of municipal foresight, and outright institutional racism.

Learn more: http://www.urbandisplacement.org/gentrification-explained “Gentrification Explained” is a short video that unpacks what gentrification really means, getting beyond the buzzword. The video addresses what led to gentrification, what gentrification looks like on the ground, and the impact of gentrification on communities, including displacement. (Check out our displacement explainer video, Pushed Out: Displacement Today and Lasting Impacts, if you haven’t already: urbandisplacement.org/pushedout) So, why did we make this video? Gentrification is complex and needs some explaining. To understand it, there are three key things to consider: 1) The historic conditions, especially policies and practices that made communities susceptible to gentrification. 2) The way that central city disinvestment and investment patterns are taking place today as a result of these conditions. 3) And the ways that gentrification impacts communities. We need to help ensure that as new investments take shape across our cities and regions, these investments generate healthy and equitable opportunities for everyone.
