The Time Republicans Helped Build an All-Black Town Called 'Soul City'
The idea was a city built for African Americans (though not exclusively), steered by black interests, and funded upfront by the federal government. It was, in essence, a request for the federal government to make good on the unrealized 40 acres and a mule promise made to African Americans emancipated from slavery. And President Nixon was all for it. Soul City still exists today in North Carolina, right near the Virginia border, but it never became the racial Xanadu McKissick sold it as.
