In the mid-20th century, highways were sold as progress — faster travel, modern cities, economic growth. But where those highways were built tells a darker story.

In New Orleans, Interstate 10 was routed directly through North Claiborne Avenue, once a thriving Black business corridor. Homes were seized, businesses erased, and an entire community was left in the shadow of concrete. This wasn’t unique.

Across America, highways were intentionally placed through Black neighborhoods using legal tools like eminent domain and “urban renewal.” No laws were broken. No rights were officially denied. The damage was permanent.

This is a dark, harsh truth about how infrastructure was used to marginalize communities — quietly, legally, and with lasting consequences.
