        Such a cool glimpse into time. Not a great loss architecturally speaking. I hope folks got paid to move.

        Unfortunately, no. They were given letters of eviction with no public hearing, and little money for their land and homes.

        Wonderful pic. Thank you. I've long been interested in the old town of Willard, & my family owned land nearby. Can I ask where you found the pic and if more are available of the town?

        Awful lot of empty space out there back then (or even 20 years ago). Funny that a black folk's town had to be wiped out.
