24. “The history of the 9th Street Divide starts with urban
renewal. Around that time period, cities around the
country decided they were going to remove African
Americans from the urban core and put them in their
own neat little neighborhoods. Louisville was very
progressive on that front—we built the 9th Street
Divide as an exit off the expressway. As you can tell
from driving around the city, it pretty much removed
all the African American communities from
downtown Louisville.”
