Integration
In the 1950s, the national integration movement allows African Americans to shop outside of their once segregated communities. For
individual consumers and families, this meant having the ability to purchase goods and services in economies of scale which allowed
them to get more value for their money. Unfortunately, this resulted in money being spent outside the Greenwood community, and as
a result, money that once circulated throughout Greenwood started to trickle out into the newly desegregated population. Over the next two
decades, this would take a heavy monetary toll on the wealth of Greenwood. |
