Referred to as 'Uptown,' the commercial core of Mount Hope extended from the Mount Hope Christian Church to the Y.M.C.A. building. This area brought together the European migrant, African-American, executive, and working-class families for daily business and entertainment. Social stratification, created to sway unionization, led to segregation in Mount Hope. Even after segregation ended in the United States, this profoundly rooted mindset would cause many to compare living situations similar to living in a bubble outside of the civil rights movement.
