From the 1920s through the 1950s, the center of black social and
business life in Charlottesville, Virginia, was the area known as
Vinegar Hill. But in 1960, noting the prevalence of aging frame
houses and ""substandard"" conditions such as outdoor toilets,
voters decided that Vinegar Hill would be redeveloped.
Charlottesville's black residents lost a cultural center, largely
because they were deprived of a voice in government. Vinegar Hill's
displaced residents discuss the loss of homes and businesses, and
the impact of the project on black life in Charlottesville. The
interviews raise questions about motivations behind urban renewal.
