Although I was disturbed to hear what Dr.Hayter was describing, I was not at all surprised by the actions of white homeowners. I have studied so little on the subject, and yet I feel as though every time I hear the stories of different cities, Black and POC citizens get the same kind of bs handed to them. I always feel as though I will never understand how you could hate someone so much that you go out of your way to make their lives more difficult. For example, Hayter mentions, “White power brokers combined white and black districts, relocated polling places to white neighborhoods, threatened economic reprisals against black voters and candidates, switched to at-large election systems, and continued to intimidate voters with violence.” as some of the ways in which society has depreciated black and POC lives. In some ways, I hope to believe this feeling is of self preservation, and not hatred. Hayter mentions the fear white people got when black people began to gain their right to vote, hold city council positions, own businesses. Soon I hope we can recognize that our genuine enemy shouldn’t be each other but those in power who make us believe we have scarce resources and only so many political ideologies to support.<\/p>\n

I am in Oliver Hill, so reading this next section was just really cool and gave me more insight on the person who is helping me get through college. “[The movement] Led by NAACP lawyers such as Oliver W. Hill (who in 1948 was the first African American elected to Richmond\u2019s city council) and ministerial gradualists such as Gordon Blaine Hancock, Richmond\u2019s black leadership resolved to modulate Jim Crow\u00a0through interracial cooperation after WW II.” Hill was a legendary lawyer who does not get enough credit for his works in the civil rights movement. Incredible to learn of the other social works he was a part of.<\/p>\n
