The Historic Southwest Corridor is geographically referenced as communities enclosed in by I-77, Brookshire Blvd, I-85 and the Billy Graham Parkway. People in the Historic Southwest Corridor gather at Camp Greene Park, Enderly Park, Southside Park, Revolution Park, the West Blvd Library, the YMCA on West Blvd, the Arbor Glen Rec, the Shops on the 1500 block of West Blvd, the shops on Wilkinson Blvd, the Bette Rae Thomas Rec, Seversville Park, the Wallace Pruitt Rec, and the shops at Freemorewest. These communities were built in the 50s and 60 and service black working families as a place of affordability. Many residents in this community are working family households that work in hospitality and logistics. Since 2016, much of our community has been bought and redeveloped. Many long time residents are being displaced, facing homelessness, and are housing insecure.

​

As you can see in the representable map above, this corridor is currently diluted by being split into four house districts. This makes it hard for residents in a historically disenfranchised community to collectively come together or collectively gather responsive elected officials that will focus on transforming their community. Any further electoral splits in this community will exacerbate this problem and make it harder for residents to champion the community they envision. There is a likely possibility that disparities will continue to grow in this corridor from a further dilution.
