@djd1994: Did you know Columbia, South Carolina had its own version of a Blk Wall Street? Long before many people learned this history, Blk entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and business owners built thriving communities despite segregation and discrimination. Their legacy helped shape Columbia, but too few people know their names or their stories. It's time to bring this forgotten history back into the conversation. #BlackWallStreet #ColumbiaSC #SouthCarolinaHistory #BlackHistory #HiddenHistory
