Downtown Commercial Core
Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
The New River Company developed a plan to decrease conflict between the Management and Working Classes while increasing their ability to maintain control over the emergence of unionization. Mount Hope had two different community cores: one white and one Black. The Downtown Commerical Core of Mount Hope was separated from the Company Core of McDonald's due to segregation. The placement is important because it created and underscored an additional separation between the White and Black communities.
