Black communities existed in Buckhead long before most came here

Originally Published in The Northside Neighbor and authored by Thornton Kennedy on February 20, 2019

February is Black History month, and as such I like to turn our collective attention to those all-but-forgotten communities which once dotted the Buckhead landscape.

If you are a frequent reader or a student of local history, you will know most of these. There are some recently introduced wrinkles, however, that will make this particular column of interest even though I seemingly write something similar every February.
