A DC appeals court agreed yesterday to block a #subpoena to #JeffClark from bar investigators seeking to #sanction him for his actions in 2020. The court said it violated his #5thAmendment protections.
Black Bottom and Paradise Valley in Detroit are just two examples of the destruction of Black communities and businesses in America. Black owned homes, businesses and churches were flattened in the name of "Urban Renewal" and "Slum Clearance".
These were walkable urban centers of commerce and housing in the center of the city. The income and generational wealth from those houses and businesses should be in the hands of African-Americans in downtown Detroit. Instead we have I-75. Destruction of these neighborhoods not only stole uncountable wealth from black communities, it increased car dependence by removing walkable neighborhoods in favor of high speed roads that were no longer crossable on foot.
