A crowd gathered in front of the new home of Bill and Daisy Myers, the first black couple to move into the all-white development of Levittown Pa., in 1957.
Samuel Snipes, the Myerses’ lawyer, informed the police that they would be moving in, knowing that controversy would follow.

Uprooted: What a Black Community Lost When a Virginia University Grew video ProPublica 9 December 2023
This short documentary reveals a Black community’s decadeslong battle to hold onto their land as officials in Newport News, Virginia, used eminent domain to establish and expand Christopher Newport University.
“Uprooted” is directed by Brandi Kellam, who grew up in the area and has spent more than two years investigating this story.
She reported the story with Louis Hansen of the Virginia Center for Investigative Reporting at WHRO.
It is produced by ProPublica’s Lisa Riordan Seville, with cinematography, editing and post-production by VCIJ’s Christopher Tyree and graphics by ProPublica’s Mauricio Rodríguez Pons.
Watch the documentary, and read all of ProPublica and VCIJ’s series, also called “Uprooted,” which explores how Virginia universities expanded by dislodging Black communities

North Carolina > Soul City
The self-contained, racially integrated community would be planned, developed and managed by black people.
Those black foundations would be celebrated in the town’s name: Soul City.
The idea was dreamed up by Floyd McKissick: attorney, civil rights activist and force of nature.
In January 1969, amid the waning days of US president Lyndon B Johnson’s administration, McKissick strolled into a Washington DC news conference with secretary of agriculture Orville Freeman and announced plans to build Soul City on 5,000 acres of rural land in impoverished Warren County, just over an hour’s drive from Raleigh, North Carolina.
