I don’t see anyone that looks like me. So I guess it was a community not open to people or color. This magnanimity should be for all peoples in the community.

In this instance the community comes together to help the farmer keep the farm and get it out of the pockets of the predators from the banks. A lot of these penny auctions were the original owners buying back their farm.

I appreciate you wanting to feel included but this is just a piece about a particular time period that also included removing the established settlement of what became central park. And no I’m not talking about the hoover city.

Seneca village if you wanna read and actually have a good reason to be mad in this thread.
