- Although 60 pecent black it seems so white
The city was like a pretty, but smaller Manhattan and everyone had a dog. I mean dogs were everwhere for some reason. The animal shelters in this place must be empty and that’s great. I even went into a store and there was a very rude “store cat,” named Amelia who refused to answer when I called her.
I was just thinking how nice it would be to live there when my Jewish professor mentioned that Savannah is 60 percent black.
60 percent? Where, I don’t see any black people?
As she explained, Savannah was a pretty hard town to live in during the 90′s the racial opression was pretty bad on both sides. She was the director of culture and when she asked (white people) why no African Americans would visit the cultural events, they just said, “Oh the’re not interested.”……Really?
We went to the Civil Rights museum and the guy asked, “Do you know when savannah became de-segregated,” and her quiet answer was NEVER!…..When schools were de-segregated, white people just took their kids to the new private shcool they built, and the public school was moved to make way for SCAD (School of art and design) while the African American kids were taught in trailers. It was still this way even in the 90′s, not sure what it’s like in 2010.
