First Black Owned Shopping Plaza

Kingdom Corners

The First Black-Owned Shopping Center in Fayetteville, Georgia

A barber.

A nurse.

A 15,000 square foot vision.

This is Kingdom Corners — the first Black-owned shopping center in Fayetteville, Georgia.

For decades, commercial real estate ownership here was out of reach for Black entrepreneurs.

Today?

Seven Black-owned businesses operate under one roof — including restaurants, retail, and a med spa. But this isn’t just about a plaza. It’s about ownership. It’s about economic power. It’s about rewriting what’s possible.

📍 Location Kingdom Corners 185 New Hope Rd Ste D Fayetteville, GA 30214

After nearly a decade without a new grocery store in Detroit, Raphael Wright opened the city’s only Black-owned grocery store in 2023 to bring fresh, healthy food options back to underserved neighborhoods.

The 34-year-old farmer and entrepreneur from the Jefferson-Chalmers area spent six years converting a former liquor store at 500 Manistique Street into Neighborhood Grocery. Community members helped select the products and saw their names featured in the store’s design.

Raphael Wright shared what motivated him. “I’m from the neighborhoods I work in, and I want to make them better. They were good at one point, and I want to bring back that glory.”

His store stands as more than a place to shop. It represents a step toward healthier families and renewed pride in the community he calls home.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬 | The Moors, originating from North and West Africa, established powerful rule in parts of Europe — most notably in Spain — for several centuries. During this period, Moorish influence extended into regions of southern Europe, shaping architecture, science, medicine, and culture.

While they did not rule all of Europe, their presence significantly impacted European development and left a lasting legacy that can still be seen today…. #Nationalist🇨🇩

THIS IS WHY THEY HATE US ALL… BECAUSE WE ONCE RULED THE WORLD AND WE WILL AGAIN… IT IS WRITTEN

In 1977, Lusia Harris made history in a way that is still unmatched. She became the first — and to this day, the only — woman ever drafted by an NBA team. The New Orleans Jazz selected her in the seventh round, not as a publicity stunt, but because of her undeniable talent.

Born in rural Mississippi, Lusia Harris rose to dominance at a time when women’s sports, especially for Black women, received little recognition or support. At Delta State University, she led her team to three consecutive national championships and was a three-time All-American. Her presence in the paint was so dominant that opponents often built their entire defensive strategies around stopping her — and still failed.

Lusia Harris was also a pioneer on the global stage. She helped lead the United States to a silver medal in women’s basketball at the 1976 Olympics, the first time women’s basketball was ever included in the Games. In that historic Olympic match, Harris scored the first basket in women’s Olympic basketball history.

Despite being drafted by the NBA, Harris never played a regular-season game. She chose family and later coaching over a professional career in men’s basketball — a decision often misunderstood, but one that does not diminish the magnitude of what she achieved. Her draft alone shattered assumptions about gender, race, and who belongs at the highest levels of sport.

Lusia Harris didn’t just break barriers — she proved they never should have existed in the first place. Her story remains one of the most overlooked chapters in sports history, and a reminder that Black women have always been pioneers, even when history tried to look away.

Angela Davis, an iconic figure in the Civil Rights Movement and a prominent political activist, faced trial in 1972 on charges related to a courtroom shootout in Marin County, California. 

Angela Davis, a scholar and member of the Communist Party USA, was a prominent advocate for prisoners' rights and an outspoken critic of racial injustice. In 1970, firearms registered to Davis were used in an armed takeover of a courtroom in Marin County, California, in an attempt to free the Soledad Brothers (3 black inmates charged with the murder of a prison guard). 

The incident resulted in the deaths of four individuals, including a judge. Angela Davis was charged with aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder in connection with the courtroom incident.  Her arrest and subsequent trial drew international attention, sparking a global "Free Angela Davis" campaign. The trial commenced in March 1972. 

Davis was defended by a team of notable lawyers, including Howard Moore Jr., Leo Branton Jr. and Doris Brin Walker. The prosecution argued that Davis was complicit in the planning of the escape attempt, while the defense contended that she was being persecuted for her political beliefs and activism.

Her trial highlighted issues of racial inequality, the justice system's treatment of African-Americans, and political repression. Angela Davis was acquitted of all charges on June 4, 1972, after a 13-week trial. The jury concluded that she had not been involved in the planning of the kidnapping and murders.
