Segregation was ugly but we made something good out of something ugly. Since we were not welcome in other places run by White people, we were forced by circumstances to let our dollars circulate in our own communities.

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along

Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
