Top 5 African American Ghost Towns in the U.S. (Black History Month 2024)

Celebrating Black History Month here with Midwest Ghost Town -

We're highlighting some Ghost Towns linked with Black History - and want to put a disclaimer that some of these are not considered "zero population" ghost towns - some were neighborhoods - that might exist today with either a smaller population making them "a near ghost town" OR for the sake of history telling the story. Unfortunately, there are a few sad ones with this episode - and not NEARLY covering the history as detailed as it could be (due to making a shorter podcast) - these are stories that deserve to be remembered - we are an open community here at Midwest Ghost Town - if there are any stories or details, please feel free to reach out to me.
